When the Lottery of Birth is Racialized: Neighborhood Context, Life Course Experiences, and Age-Crime Trajectories of Black and White Cohorts coming of Age between 1976 and 2019
While racial disparities in crime have been a central issue in criminological research, there has been a notable lack of attention given to the changing landscape of racial inequality in experiencing crime over time and its impact on different generations. Sociologist Yunmei (Iris) Lu will investigate the shifting Black-White gap in experiencing crime across generations. She will analyze data from the Monitoring the Future survey, the American Community Survey, the National Institute of Corrections, and the FBI for her study.
