Effect of sentencing reform on racial and ethnic disparities in involvement with the criminal justice system
We analyze the disparate effects of a recent California sentencing reform on the arrest, booking, and incarceration rates experienced by California residents from different racial and ethnic groups.

Findings suggest that the participants embrace a wide range of productive gender-re…
