摘要

越来越多的文献记录了惩罚中的肤色分层，即深色皮肤的人比浅色皮肤的人更糟糕。几乎所有这些研究都集中在通过直接渠道运作的肤色歧视上。利用一个新的数据集，将2012年至2015年佛罗里达州迈阿密-戴德县6931名重罪被告的面部照片和法庭记录联系起来，我们发现，除了直接渠道外，惩罚中的肤色歧视(尤其是对西班牙裔)还通过间接机制发挥作用。我们认为，惩罚中的肤色歧视是通过一个累积的(非)优势过程持续的，突出了肤色分层在刑事司法系统中是如何制度化的。

Cumulative Colorism in Criminal Courts

A growing literature documents skin color stratification in punishment, whereby darker-skinned individuals fare worse than their lighter-skinned counterparts. Virtually all of this research has focused on colorism operating through direct channels. Utilizing a novel dataset linking the mugshots and court records of 6931 felony defendants from Miami-Dade County (Florida) from 2012 to 2015, we show that colorism in punishment, particularly for Hispanics, operates through indirect mechanisms – in addition to direct channels. We argue that colorism in punishment is sustained through a cumulative (dis)advantage process, highlighting how skin color stratification is institutionalized in the criminal justice system.

期刊介绍： Social Science Research publishes papers devoted to quantitative social science research and methodology. The journal features articles that illustrate the use of quantitative methods in the empirical solution of substantive problems, and emphasizes those concerned with issues or methods that cut across traditional disciplinary lines. Special attention is given to methods that have been used by only one particular social science discipline, but that may have application to a broader range of areas.
