The Declining Significance of Race: Revisited… : DASH Story 2014-06-18

Abstract

I am a community level researcher in Charlotte NC, working for a midsize nonprofit without funds to purchase articles. I am analyzing school discipline data for a "race matters" workgroup in juvenile justice, and find that race doesn't account for enough variance in the model. I took Dr. Wilson's urban poverty course at University of Chicago in the mid-90's, and needed the update on the DSR position--I now will be able to refer to this body of work, to educate myself about updates, and use the information to teach others (judges, school administrators, teachers, juvenile justice folks). Yay, Harvard.
