这项研究表明，对于2015年在刑事法院被判犯有可记录、可起诉罪行的罪犯，种族与被判入狱之间存在关联。在类似的犯罪情况下，自报黑人、亚洲人和中国人或其他背景的罪犯入狱的几率高于自报白色背景的罪犯。虽然在统计学上是显著的，但监禁几率的增加都是中等程度的影响（对于自报为黑人、亚洲人和中国人或其他人的罪犯，分别高出53%、55%和81%）。没有观察到影响罪犯从一个自我报告的混合背景。
This research demonstrated that for offenders convicted of recordable, indictable offences in the Crown Court in 2015, there was an association between ethnicity and being sentenced to prison. Under similar criminal circumstances the odds of imprisonment for offenders from self-reported Black, Asian, and Chinese or other backgrounds were higher than for offenders from self-reported White backgrounds. Whilst statistically significant, the increases in the odds of imprisonment were all medium sized effects (53%, 55%, and 81% higher, respectively, for offenders self-reporting as Black, Asian, and Chinese or other). No effect was observed for offenders from a self-reported Mixed background.
