The Complexities of Race and Place: Childhood Neighborhood Disadvantage and Adult Incarceration for Whites, Blacks, and Latinos Socius: Sociological Research for a Dynamic World published online (1 June 2020): DOI: 10.1177/2378023120927154. Also: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/2378023120927154 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79, NLSY79 Young Adult Publisher: Sage Publications Keyword(s): Childhood Adversity/Trauma; Geocoded Data; Incarceration/Jail; Neighborhood Effects; Racial Differences Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The author uses restricted geocoded tract-level panel data (1986-2014) that span the prison boom and the acceleration of residential segregation in the United States from two cohorts of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (1979 and Children and Young Adults) to study whether the association between childhood neighborhood disadvantage and adult incarceration varies by race and ethnicity. Sibling fixed-effects models suggest that exposure to childhood neighborhood disadvantage increases the likelihood of incarceration in adulthood, net of observed and unobserved adjustments. However, the association appears weakest for blacks, especially black boys, compared with whites and Latinos. This suggests a more consistent likelihood of incarceration for blacks across all neighborhood origins. The author discusses potential theoretical explanations, including discrimination in profiling, policing, surveillance, and other prejudicial policies in the criminal justice system that are likely to uniquely affect blacks from all neighborhoods. |

The Shifting Salience of Skin Color for Educational Attainment Socius: Sociological Research for a Dynamic World published online (19 December 2019): DOI: 10.1177/2378023119889829. Also: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/2378023119889829 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Sage Publications Keyword(s): Black Studies; Educational Attainment; Gender Differences; Skin Tone Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Findings of an association between skin color and educational attainment have been fairly consistent among Americans born before the civil rights era, but little is known regarding the persistence of this relationship in later born cohorts. The authors ask whether the association between skin color and educational attainment has changed between black American baby boomers and millennials. The authors observe a large and statistically significant decline in the association between skin color and educational attainment between baby boomer and millennial black women, whereas the decline in this association between the two cohorts of black men is smaller and nonsignificant. Compared with baby boomers, a greater percentage of the association between skin color and educational attainment among black millennials appears to reflect educational disparities in previous generations. These results emphasize the need to conceptualize colorism as an intersectional problem and suggest caution when generalizing evidence of colorism in earlier cohorts to young adults today. |

The Myth of Men’s Stable, Continuous Labor Force Attachment: Multitrajectories of U.S. Baby Boomer Men’s Employment Socius published online (9 September 2023). Also: https://doi.org/10.1177/23780231231197031 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Sage Publications Keyword(s): Baby Boomer; Employment; Employment History; Employment, Intermittent/Precarious; Employment, Stable/Continuous; Gender Attitudes/Roles; Labor Force Participation; Unemployment; Unemployment Duration; Work Histories; Work History; Work Reentry Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Over the past several decades, U.S. men's paid work has transformed from a state of high stability and continuity to a state of increased instability and precarity. Despite this, full-time employment throughout adulthood remains the presumed standard for modern American men. The authors investigated the diversity of men's workforce experiences using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (National Longitudinal Survey of Youth - 1979 cohort) and identified six multitrajectories of men's time spent employed, unemployed, and out of the labor force from ages 27 to 49. The authors identified one multitrajectory of steady work, three of increasing unemployment or time out of work, one of increasing steady work, and one of intermittent work. Contrary to conventional assumptions, only 41 percent of men followed a trajectory of continuous, high employment over the duration of their prime earning years. This suggests that most men do not achieve the "ideal worker norm," raising implications for how research and policy conceptualize men's work experiences. |
