Largest Jury Study Ever Finds No Discrimination Against African-Americans

Largest Jury Study Ever Finds No Discrimination Against Black Defendants

A 2023 study analyzed 300,000+ felony cases and found juries don’t discriminate against Blacks, do against Whites.

thelawofaverages.substack.com

Their dataset included “every grand jury case filed from February of 1990 through July of 2022“ in the state of Texas, making it the largest study on jurors ever! (And it isn’t even close)

One of the most "Conservative" States too

Also the largest study to date in this regard.

“there is similar disparate impact against Black defendants even when race is unobserved by the grand jurors.”

“None of the estimates is positive, and thus none suggests the presents of taste-based racial bias or statistical discrimination against identifiably-Black defendants. Rather, estimates in Columns (2) and (3) are close to zero and statistically insignificant.

None of this found any "evidence" for discrimination against AAs, but it did find:

“if anything disparate impact estimates against Black defendants who are likely inferred as White are slightly larger, which is the opposite of what we would expect if some or all of the disparate impact…were due to taste-based or statistical discrimination based on race.”

“The estimate…is negative and significant, and is thus the opposite of what one would expect in the presence of taste-based or statistical discrimination based on race against Black defendants.“

“Figure 2 also shows, consistent with Tables 3 and 4, that the disparate impact estimates for Black defendants with White names is slightly higher than those for Black defendants with Black names, which is the opposite of what we would expect in the presence of taste-based or statistical discrimination based on race.“

Yet according to Soys on Reddit & SJWcels on here, we're all just "paranoid" jfl.

The alleged "black-white" disparity also is debunked here:

This one quote sums it up:

“Strikingly, results indicate a similar, if not slightly larger, disparate impact when comparing Black and White defendants who had similarly-White names, and were thus racially indistinguishable to grand jurors. That is, compared to racially-identifiable White defendants, Black defendants who were likely believed to be White by grand jurors were 0.9 percent more likely to have their felony cases pushed forward. The similarity of findings across the “unblinded” and “blinded” samples indicates that the disparate impact estimated between White and Black defendants is not caused by either taste-based or statistical discrimination, but rather is due to similar treatment on the basis of some other factor that differs across race“

From the original paper:

Results indicate there is a similar disparate impact against Blackdefendants with White names compared to Black defendants with Black names, which indicatesthe absence of statistical and taste-based discrimination. Collectively, these findings indicate thatjuries did not engage in racial bias

Results from three different approaches all indicate the absence of racial bias against defendantsperceived to be Black. This includes a comparison of true bill rates of Black defendants withWhite vs. Black names, an outcome-based test that compares the conviction rates of marginalBlack defendants with White vs. Black names, and the disparate impact analysis that uses theblinded/unblinded comparisons to isolate the racial bias component of disparate impact. Moreover,the large sample size enables all three approaches to rule out even small amounts of racial bias. Asa result, we conclude that at least in this setting, there is little evidence that American jurors engagein racial bias against Black defendants.

Results indicate that Black defendants who are perceived as Black are 0.15 percentage points less likely to be true billed thanBlack defendants perceived as White. The estimate is significant at the 10 percent level.

America is the most anti-white country on earth.

Off topic but why is it that whenever there’s records available for a non white criminal, why do they label the race as white? lol

I know, it's just good that literal research supports this since apparently

anti-white

People on here still deny this

 

[Antorian]

No discriminiation, though there should be, after all they did and still continue to do.

i've seen pics of guys who were clearly hispanic(native features) but with lighter skin who were labeled as "White"

I think once or twice i saw some mutts who were mixed with black as "White" cause they were lightskins jfl

 

[brutalist]

Didn't account for the race of victims so its kind of meaningless.

There's no Census racial category for Mestizos, they're classified as either "black hispanic" or "white hispanic"

I'd heard before that the previous studies showing evidence of blacks getting higher sentences than whites for the same crimes didn't take into account factors like repeat criminality or the person's conduct in court. Though I've yet to take a look at said studies myself
