Abstract

Researchers have offered several reasons for the mixed minority threat-sentencing literature including diverse dependent variables, heterogenous threat conceptualizations, and incongruent threat measurements. An overlooked potential explanation, however, is the heavy reliance on cross-sectional snapshots. If minority threat effects vary over time, then past works showing differing results may not “contradict,” but rather reflect substantive temporal shifts in minority threat effects. Against this backdrop, the current study “zooms out” and considers the evidence for minority threat theory in sentencing throughout the 21st century.
