A “Ferguson Effect” on 2016 Presidential Vote Preference? Findings from a Framing Experiment Examining “Shy Voters” and Cues Related to Policing and Social Unrest
Objectives This study explored the sociopolitical influence of controversies related to policing and “law and order” during the 2016 presidential campaign. Following incidences of social unrest sparked by lethal confrontations between police officers and people of color, Donald Trump condemned protesters and expressed unwavering support for the police, while Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders expressed empathy with communities of color and called…
Race, Place, and Effective Policing
The police need public support and cooperation to be effective in controlling crime and holding offenders accountable. In many disadvantaged communities of color, poor relationships between the police and residents undermine effective policing. Weak police-minority community relationships are rooted in a long history of discriminatory practices and contemporary proactive policing strategies that are overly aggressive and associated with racial di…
Assessing the impact of race on the juvenile waiver decision
Measuring Collective Efficacy
This article specifies a multilevel measurement model for survey response when data are nested. The model includes a test-retest model of reliability, a confirmatory factor model of interitem reliability with item-specific bias effects, an individual-level model of the biasing effects due to respondent characteristics, and a neighborhood-level model of construct validity. We apply this model for measuring informal social control within collective…
Social Capital, Information, and Perceived Safety from Crime
Objective The study investigates the role of information obtained through local social connections in judgments about the safety of a neighborhood from crime. Methods The study employs a neighborhood‐based survey of Seattle residents. Results Residents who are embedded in local social networks are more likely to become familiar with their neighbors, and this familiarity is associated with greater perceptions of safety. On the other hand, resident…
Explicit and Hidden Racial Bias in the Framing of Social Problems
Many contested issues in the American public and political spheres are rooted in funda-mentally differing views of the scope, causes, and consequences of social problems. This is certainly true for two major interrelated social problems with racial implications: crime and labor market inequalities. In the era since the civil rights movement made the open expression of racial bias less socially acceptable, however, public and political discussions…
Perceptions of the local danger posed by crime
Strangers, Neighbors, and Race
How are perceptions of the danger posed by crime colored by race? This work draws on the contact hypothesis to explore the link between a neighborhood's racial composition, interracial interactions, racial crime stereotypes, and perceptions of criminal danger. Using a recent survey of Seattle residents, I find that interracial interactions are associated with decreased crime stereotypes about racial and ethnic minorities-though not crime stereoty…
But Is It Racial Profiling? Policing, Pretext Stops, and the Color of Suspicion
