Racial Disparities in the Criminal Legal System: Shadows of Doubt and Beyond
评论了《怀疑的阴影》一书关于刻板印象导致种族差异的证据，并扩展了刑事司法接触中多种机制的作用，指出减少刻板印象偏见是迈向公平的关键，但需要系统性改革。
Racial disparities permeate every single stage of the criminal legal process. In Shadows of Doubt: Stereotypes, Crime, and the Pursuit of Justice, Brendan O’Flaherty and Rajiv Sethi shed light on the stereotype-driven biases that contribute to these disparities. In this article, I review the compelling evidence in the book and expand upon it by outlining the myriad intertwining mechanisms contributing to racial disparities in criminal legal contact. I argue that reducing stereotype-driven biases is a crucial step toward equity, but a broader systemic overhaul is necessary to substantively address the entrenched racial biases in the criminal legal system.
