Race, Gender, and Risk Assessments in Canadian Federal Prison
In Canada, all federally incarcerated individuals are required to complete a number of actuarial risk assessments upon entering prison which influence the security level in which they are housed, opportunities to participate in rehabilitative services while incarcerated, and prospects for parole. While proponents of actuarial risk assessments—which make algorithmic decisions based on objective inputs—argue that such tools can reduce the influence…

Effect of racial misclassification in police data on estimates of racial disparities
Research on race and policing increasingly draws upon data collected by police officers to estimate racial disparities in police contact. Many of these data sets, however, rely on officer perception of a stopped person's race, which may be inconsistent with how those individuals self‐identify. Furthermore, researchers frequently benchmark contact data where race is perceived by police officers against census and survey data where race is self‐ide…

What effect does black politics in the United States have on the attitudes of black citizens in other national contexts? Literature on the black diaspora and transnationalism has characterized cultural and political linkages between black communities in North America, the Caribbean, and Europe, especially during the mid-20th century. In this article, I exploit random timing in the administration of a public attitudes survey to demonstrate that su…
More than Spare Change
Research on local welfare spending for individuals and families experiencing homelessness has characterized such spending as severely limited and constrained. Studies on fiscal federalism have argued that competition between local governments prevents leaders from spending much, if anything, to assist the homeless. County governments may be further constrained from providing assistance by state constitutions or statutes. Finally, local businesses…
The Political Consequences of Policing
A Comparative Analysis of Black Racial Group Consciousness in the United States and Britain
Extant scholarship on black politics has demonstrated the mobilizing effect that racial group consciousness can have on African American political participation. Few studies, however, test for or compare the political impact of group consciousness across national contexts. This paper presents an empirical comparison of group consciousness and its relationship with political behavior among black Americans and black Britons. Mobilizing two national…
Police, Politics and Participation
A growing literature in the United States suggests that exposure to the criminal justice system can reduce routinized civic and political participation. It is unclear, however, whether this demobilizing effect is unique to the United States, or is a more fundamental consequence of criminal justice exposure. Mobilizing publicly available data on the policing of anti-social behaviours, stop and search powers and political participation in London, G…
Coffee Shops and Street Stops
This article presents an empirical analysis of the postindustrial policing hypothesis, which argues that as cities pursue growth strategies designed to appeal to members of the so-called “creative classes,” they increasingly adopt punitive policing strategies, such as order maintenance policing. While several studies offer some evidence for the hypothesis, no study has yet tested the most direct spatial implication of this hypothesis within citie…
