“#Place doesn’t trump race as predictor of incarceration<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n For black Americans\u2014particularly men\u2014growing up in better neighborhoods doesn’t diminish the likelihood of going to prison nearly as much as it does for whites or Latinos, new Cornell research shows.<\/p>\n
\n <\/section>\n

“If you’re a black male in America, it doesn’t matter much if you come from a good neighborhood or a bad neighborhood,” said Steven Alvarado, assistant professor of sociology in the College of Arts and Science<\/a>s. “Your chances of being incarcerated are similar.”<\/p>\n

Alvarado is the author of “The Complexities of Race and Place: Childhood Neighborhood Disadvantage and Adult Incarceration for Whites, Blacks, and Latinos,” published June 1 in the journal Socius<\/i>.
\nThe study’s publication at a time of widespread demonstrations against police brutality and racial injustice was coincidental, but Alvarado said its findings lend support to calls for structural reform.
\n“There’s a systemic and a deep inequality in American society,” he said, “in terms of the treatment of blacks in the criminal justice system that might mute some of those beneficial effects of growing up in a more advantaged neighborhood.”
\nAlvarado analyzed restricted data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ National Longitudinal Survey of Youth that followed thousands of diverse Americans growing up between 1986 and 2014. That 28-year period coincided with an acceleration of mass incarceration and residential segregation in the U.S., Alvarado said.
\nLinking the NLSY survey data to census tract data, he ranked neighborhoods’ relative advantage or disadvantage based on characteristics including housing values and levels of income, employment and education.
\nBy comparing outcomes among siblings, Alvarado controlled for some “unobserved” variables not measurable in the surveys\u2014such as genetics, parenting strategies and family events\u2014that might influence an individual’s chances of incarceration.
\nThe data confirmed that blacks, whites and Latinos who grew up in tougher neighborhoods all are more likely to go to prison or jail than counterparts who grew up in better neighborhoods, as one might expect.
\nBut while the chances of incarceration dropped sharply for whites and Latinos from advantaged neighborhoods, black adults benefited about half as much from that upward neighborhood mobility, Alvarado found.
\nAlvarado called that finding sobering and surprising. Considerable research has touted the benefits of moving people into less poor neighborhoods to improve outcomes, he said, but few studies have looked at incarceration as an outcome.
\n“My findings complicate that a little bit and tell us that when it comes to incarceration we might want to also think about larger structural changes to criminal justice in the United States,” he said, “and not simply moving people from one neighborhood to another as a sufficient way to address this issue.”
\nBlacks enjoy fewer protective effects from good neighborhoods with respect to incarceration, Alvarado suggests, because of the nation’s highly racialized criminal justice system.
\n“More than other racial and ethnic groups, the odds of experiencing incarceration for blacks may be tied to racial profiling, surveillance, stop-and-frisk policies, gang injunctions and other forms of social<\/a> control that affect all black Americans, regardless of their family and neighborhood origins,” he wrote.
\nRecent events have made that reality more app<\/a>arent to all Americans, Alvarado said, adding that his research provides some hard data that supports calls for systemic reform led by the Black Lives Matter movement.
\n“It’s very difficult for black Americans to find refuge from incarceration,” he said. “We’re seeing that play out now in terms of the demonstrations and the policy changes that municipalities are starting to consider.”<\/p>\n
