私刑对刑事司法结果的影响很少受到审查。最近的研究结果也不一致的影响种族的歧视。本研究采用了汇总的时间序列设计，以评估私刑和种族威胁的影响，从1972年至2000年的国家赔偿。在控制了共和党的实力、保守主义和其他因素后，林奇利率解释了入学率的增长。调查结果还表明，黑人居民的增加导致了随后的扩张，这可能是由于白色对这种所谓的威胁的反应。但当黑人的比例达到一个很大的门槛并且潜在的黑人选票变得足够大，足以开始减少这些严厉的惩罚时，监狱收容人数就会减少。这些结果也证实了种族威胁论的政治版本，表明共和党政治实力的增强会产生额外的影响。
The effects of lynchings on criminal justice outcomes have seldom been examined. Recent findings also are inconsistent about the effects of race on imprisonments. This study uses a pooled time-series design to assess lynching and racial threat effects on state imprisonments from 1972 to 2000. After controlling for Republican strength, conservatism, and other factors, lynch rates explain the growth in admission rates. The findings also show that increases in black residents produce subsequent expansions in imprisonments that likely are attributable to white reactions to this purported menace. But after the percentage of blacks reaches a substantial thresholdand the potential black vote becomes large enough to begin to reduce these harsh punishmentsreductions in prison admissions occur. These results also confirm a political version of racial threat theory by indicating that increased Republican political strength produces additional imprisonments.
