摘要：

Blacks in the United States are arrested, prosecuted, convicted, and incarcerated in numbers disproportionate to their percentage of the population. One explanation is that racial discrimination against Blacks pervades the American system of criminal justice. This study examined the nature and extent of racial discrimination in the criminal justice system by evaluating five propositions using data from extant literature. Little evidence was found tb support the allegation that the criminal justice system systematically discriminates against Blacks. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
