Testing for Racial Discrimination in Police Searches of Motor Vehicles
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a threshold test to test for racial discrimination in motor vehicle searches using geographic variation in stop outcomes to infer the effective race-specific standards of evidence that officers apply when deciding whom to search, an approach they formalize with a hierarchical Bayesian latent variable model.

Trade union responses to diversity management in France, Sweden and Germany
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined unions' influence on diversity discourses and the implications of these responses for equality agendas in continental Europe, using a qualitative research design based on documentary data analysis and semistructured interviews and a discursive institutionalism approach.

The Measure and Mismeasure of Fairness: A Critical Review of Fair Machine Learning.
Sam Corbett-Davies,Sharad Goel +1 more

TL;DR: This paper found that applicants with distinctively African-American names are 16% less likely to be accepted relative to identical hosts with White names on the same platform. But, their results suggest that only a subset of hosts discriminate.
