Race and Men’s Imprisonment in the United States
Black men are overrepresented in United States prisons and the number of Black men incarcerated increased dramatically during America’s “prison boom.” Yet, existing research on male imprisonment rates in the United States has focused on explaining overall rates and has not statistically modeled rates disaggregated by race over time. This study uses seemingly unrelated regression techniques to analyze annual rates of Black and non-Black men incarc…
The Enduring Significance of Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Male Violent Victimization, 1973-2010
Latino and Black males are more likely to suffer serious violent victimization compared to White males, and it is likely that economic disadvantage and other individual level differences play a key role in these disparities. This study of self-reported data from the National Crime Victimization Survey (1973-2010) is the first effort to assess three important issues: 1) the extent to which the relationship between serious violent victimization and…
Partisan Politics, Electoral Competition and Imprisonment
The now well‐documented explosion in prison populations over the last 30 years has spurred significant attention in the literature. Early research focused primarily on economic explanations. More recently it has focused on political explanations of prison growth. Here we extend research on political explanations of imprisonment by drawing on the literature on state politics and public policy. We argue that the effect of partisan politics on punis…
Application of Association-Marginal Models to the Study of Social Mobility
Researchers studying social mobility are often interested in examining both the association between origins and destinations and the relationship between the marginal distributions of origins and destinations. Often, this has resulted in an attempt to partition various models into components of, or derive indexes for, exchange/circulation mobility and structural mobility. As an alternative, or perhaps supplement, to such concerns, here the author…

What's in a Name? The Consequences of Violating Brazilian Emic Color-Race Categories in Estimates of Social Well-Being
This is the second article reporting the results of an experiment designed to assess the consequences of overriding the Brazilian emic color-race classification system in studies of color-race relations. We have already demonstrated that use of the nonsalient term parda, rather than the salient term morena, to denote "mixed" color-race status causes the overnumeration of brancas (whites) and pretas (blacks). Some Brazilianists remain confident th…
Who are the Whites
This article presents the results of an experiment carried out in Brazil to test the consequences of ignoring or overriding the distinctive features of the cognitive system by which Brazilians express their “race-color” identities.{su1} The experiment consisted of substituting a salient vernacular term (morena) for the seldom-used term (parda) that the Brazilian census offers as self-identification for a person who has both black and white color-…
