基于对积累的经验文献的系统评估和对25名种族和量刑学者的采访，本文认为，犯罪学中关于种族和量刑的研究采用的标准方法不足以解决推动这项工作的关键潜在问题，包括种族是否、在哪里、如何以及为什么重要。根据这一评估，本文为这一领域的实证研究提出了一些额外的方向，以增强我们关于种族如何影响量刑的知识的有效性和可靠性，并增强这项工作的政策相关性。
Drawing on a systematic assessment of the accumulated empirical literature and interviews with 25 race and sentencing scholars, this paper argues that the standard approach adopted in research on race and sentencing in criminology is insufficient for addressing the key underlying questions that motivate this work, including whether, where, how, and why race may matter. In light of this assessment, the paper lays out some additional directions for empirical research in this area that would bolster the validity and reliability of our knowledge about how race shapes sentencing and enhance the policy relevance of this work.
