2. Violence and Morality

Data:

• Incidents involving police where suspect is arrested or subject to lethal use of force from several cities
• Details on race of suspect, suspect behavior, context, and officer attributes from police reports

Results:

Comparing police-suspect interactions with similar suspect behavior, context, officer attributes:

Police less likely to use lethal force with black suspects.

statistical discrimination:

inequality that exists between demographic groups even though economic agents (consumers, workers, employers, etc.) are rational and non-prejudiced. Discrimination can be "rational" if individual attributes are hard to observe (e.g. propensity toward crime) while group membership is observable and different groups have different behaviors on average.

Finds evidence that racial disparity is due to statistical discrimination

Is this relevant to question of "racial violence"?

ethnic violence:

violence perpetrated across or within ethnic lines, in which at least one party is not a state (or a representative of a state), and in which putative ethnic differences or similarities are coded—by perpetrators, targets, influential third parties, or analysts—as having been integral rather than incidental to the violence, that is, in which the violence is coded as having been meaningfully oriented in some way to the ethnicity of the target (due to membership in shared or different groups)
