Det er rimelig godt dokumenteret, at minoriteter stoppes hyppigere af politiet og oftere på et sprinklere grundlag. Videre er der dokumenteret diskrepans i sigtelser og dom.
Så vidt jeg husker så var der også mange andre faktorer angående domme og sigtelser. Netop historik og åbne sager.

Nu har jeg ikke læst rapporten, men jeg kan da dokumentere konklusionen:
In summary, this study finds substantial racial and ethnic disparities in criminal justic eoutcomes that tend to disfavor minority defendants, and Blacks in particular. For the most part,these disparities can be attributed to average differences across racial and ethnic groups in case characteristics related to arrest charges, pre-trial detention, and criminal history. Disparities in
disposition and sentencing outcomes narrow considerably with the passage of proposition 47. Proposition 47 reclassified relatively low level felony offenses as misdemeanors. This study demonstrates that this change had a disproportionate impact on Black defendants on disposition and sentencing outcomes and helped narrow the racial gap associated with a criminal history and being detained pre-trial.
We find little evidence of overt bias against any one race or ethnic group in the processing of criminal offenses. For nearly all of the outcomes we study, simple statistical controls for predetermined case characteristics can fully or mostly account for observed disparities, and in some instances they over-explain disparities. Moreover, we find little evidence that courts reject
the cases brought by the SFDA against Black, Hispanic, and Asian defendants at a rate higher than that of White defendants.
