Poor White Kids Are less Likely to Go to Prison than Rich Black Kids Washington Post, March 23, 2016, Wonkblog Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Washington Post Keyword(s): Black Youth; Incarceration/Jail; Racial Equality/Inequality; Socioeconomic Background Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. [Excerpts from newspaper article] In recent decades, rich black kids have been more likely to go to prison than poor white kids. "Race trumps class, at least when it comes to incarceration," said Darrick Hamilton of the New School, one of the researchers who produced the study. He and his colleagues, Khaing Zaw and William Darity of Duke University, examined data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, a national study that began in 1979 and followed a group of young people into adulthood and middle age. The participants were asked about their assets and debts, and interviewers also noted their type of residence, including whether they were in a jail or prison. |
