ABSTRACT This analysis examines the inter- and intra-racial/ethnicity effects of skin tone variations in a sample of probationers across three dependent variables: probation length, successful completion, and revocation due to technical violations. Darker tones were linked to shorter probation terms with the exception of African Americans, among whom no effect was found. Darker tones were also associated with a decreased likelihood of successful probation completion. Conversely, probation success likelihood was higher among light skinned Hispanics. Finally, lighter tones were also associated with increased risks of probation revocation. Importantly, across the analysis any significant effects for Whites dissipated once Hispanics were removed from the analysis. Explanations of the contrary findings are offered drawing from scholarship on normal crimes and racial threat.

缓刑的皮肤:全州分析

摘要这项分析研究了缓刑者样本中肤色变化的种族间和种族间/种族间效应,涉及三个因变量:缓刑时间,成功完成和因技术违规而被吊销。除非裔美国人外,较暗的色调与较短的试用期相关,其中未发现任何影响。较深的色调还与成功完成试用期的可能性降低相关。相反,在浅肤色的西班牙裔美国人中,缓刑成功的可能性更高。最后,较浅的色调还与缓刑撤销的风险增加有关。重要的是,在整个分析过程中,一旦从分析中删除了西班牙裔,对白人的任何重大影响都会消失。
