These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different.

Area of Science:

  • Criminal Justice
  • Sociology of Law
  • Criminology

Background:

  • Empirical studies show racial disparities in early and late criminal case stages.
  • Understanding how disparities change throughout the legal process is incomplete.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To comprehensively examine criminal dispositions in North Carolina DWI cases (2001-2011).
  • To track racial and gender differences in outcomes at key decision points.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of all DWI cases in North Carolina from 2001-2011.
  • Tracking case outcomes by race and gender from pretrial hearings to sentencing.

Main Results:

  • Disadvantaged pretrial release conditions for Black and Hispanic defendants.
  • Hispanic men more likely to have charges dropped by prosecutors.
  • Hispanic men less likely to receive harsh sentences or jail time post-plea bargaining.

Conclusions:

  • Correction mechanisms exist within the criminal justice process, particularly benefiting Hispanic men.
  • Prosecutorial discretion and judicial review play roles in mitigating initial disparities.
  • Further research is needed to identify precise causal mechanisms.
