Abstract

ABSTRACT Archival crime data collected by a police agency in Upstate New York from 2008 to 2015; outcome, sentencing, and incarceration data collected by the New York State’s Department of Criminal Justice Statistics; and demographic data collected by the U.S. Census were analyzed to explore how a suspect’s race and sex affect the investigation, prosecution, conviction, and sentencing in larceny cases. Results suggest that Black men were more likely to be the targets of excess suspicion, less likely to be granted leniency by prosecutors, no more likely to be convicted, but, if convicted, more likely to be incarcerated than White men.

种族歧视，过度猜疑，以及纽约州北部的盗窃

摘要2008年至2015年，纽约上州一家警察局收集的档案犯罪数据；纽约州刑事司法统计部收集的结果、判刑和监禁数据；分析了美国人口普查局收集的人口统计数据，以探讨嫌疑人的种族和性别如何影响盗窃案的调查、起诉、定罪和量刑。结果表明，与白人男性相比，黑人男性更有可能成为过度怀疑的目标，不太可能被检察官宽大处理，不太有可能被定罪，但如果被定罪，则更有可能被监禁。

期刊介绍： Criminal Justice Studies, a quarterly refereed journal, publishes articles that deal with substantive criminal justice and criminological issues. The journal welcomes all articles that are relevant to the issue of criminal justice, as well as those that may be outside the field but have relevancy to the topic of criminal justice. Articles that cover public administration, issues of public policy, as well as public affairs issues are welcome. The journal also publishes relevant literature reviews, research notes and summary reports of innovative research projects in criminal justice. Qualitative and quantifiable articles are sought mainly from academics and researchers in the field, though articles from professionals will also be considered.
