Stopped 6X as often, arrested 6X as often, denied bail 6X as often, found guilty 6X as often, sentences 6X longer/harsher, etc.

I saw info about the study but failed to make a permanent record of it. I t9hink it may have been a NAACP study of the fate of young black males in the criminal justice system.

The study was driven into oblivion by sElection 2000 or 9/11 or Iraq.
