Black Teens Who Commit a Few Crimes Go to Jail as Often as White Teens Who Commit Dozens Washington Post, January 30, 2015, Wonkblog Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY97 Publisher: Washington Post Keyword(s): Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. [Excerpts from newspaper article] Boys are less likely to commit crimes but they are more likely to be placed in a correctional facility than they were three decades ago, according to a new study that shows the justice system for juvenile offenders has become much more punitive. The trends are particularly pronounced among boys from racial minorities, according to the paper by Tia Stevens Andersen of the University of South Carolina and Michigan State University's Merry Morash. The study compared results from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth in 1980 and 2000, which is the latest date for which detailed data are available. Surveyors asked youth whether they had stolen, destroyed property, attacked someone or sold drugs in the last year. Of the boys between the ages of 15 and 18 surveyed in 1980, 59 percent said they had, compared to just 28 percent of similarly aged boys surveyed in 2000. |

Poor White Kids Are less Likely to Go to Prison than Rich Black Kids Washington Post, March 23, 2016, Wonkblog Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Washington Post Keyword(s): Black Youth; Incarceration/Jail; Racial Equality/Inequality; Socioeconomic Background Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. [Excerpts from newspaper article] In recent decades, rich black kids have been more likely to go to prison than poor white kids. "Race trumps class, at least when it comes to incarceration," said Darrick Hamilton of the New School, one of the researchers who produced the study. He and his colleagues, Khaing Zaw and William Darity of Duke University, examined data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, a national study that began in 1979 and followed a group of young people into adulthood and middle age. The participants were asked about their assets and debts, and interviewers also noted their type of residence, including whether they were in a jail or prison. |

The Fascinating Connection between How Much Married People Make and How Likely They Are to Cheat Washington Post, June 4, 2015, Wonkblog. Also: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/06/04/the-curious-relationship-between-how-much-married-people-make-and-how-likely-they-are-to-cheat/?utm_term=.07ae8bf72fd5 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Washington Post Keyword(s): Husbands, Income; Marital Conflict; Marital Instability; Wives, Income Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Why husbands and wives cheat is one of the most difficult, painful and unanswerable questions of society. But a new study suggests, if not a reason for infidelity, an important piece of context. It turns out, according to [a] study in [the] American Sociological Review, that husbands and wives cheat more when their spouses make a lot more money. In other words, husbands and wives are less likely to cheat when they are both contributing equally to the household's earnings. [News media article is based on Munsch, Christin L. "Her Support, His Support: Money, Masculinity, and Marital Infidelity." American Sociological Review 80,3 (June 2015): 469-495] |
