TL;DR: In this article, the authors used county-level data drawn from South Carolina's National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS), race-specific voting data, and demographic data to investigate the validity of each of these racial threat hypotheses.

TL;DR: The authors developed a conceptual model articulating the mechanisms by which racial threat is theorized to affect social control, focusing specifically on the influence of the relative size of the black population on the likelihood that the police will arrest a black citizen suspected of a violent criminal offense.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted an analysis of 466,311 criminal arrests drawn from seven states and found that co-offending patterns by age are not noteworthy in elucidating why participation in illegal activities rises in adolescence, peaks in early adulthood, and then declines thereafter.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the effect of an offender's race on the probability of arrest for 335,619 incidents of forcible rape, robbery, and assault in 17 states during 1999 and conclude that the disproportionately high arrest rate for black citizens is most likely attributable to differential involvement in reported crime rather than to racially biased law enforcement practices.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate whether gun availability is related to violent crime, gun crime, juvenile gun crime and violent crimes committed with a knife using four years of county-level data drawn from the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) for South Carolina and a pooled cross-sectional time series research design.
