This project will examine the multiple dimensions of social control. To do so, the research will undertake a meta-analysis of studies that have examined various influences on social control. The project will overcome limitations in the literature by assessing multiple outcomes and using meta-analysis rather than narrative reviews to assess the empirical validity and generalizability of context effects on social control. This research will provide a state-of-the-art assessment of the literature across assorted influences of social control. Inattention to multiple dimensions of social control, including law enforcement, incarceration and sentencing, laws and policies, and informal social control, provides an inadequate and ad hoc test of the theoretical concept known as the minority threat perspective (MTP). This gap is critical because it leaves in doubt the validity of the MTP, arguably the most prominent theoretical perspective used to explain the relationship between racial and ethnic context and social control. To overcome these limitations, the project will employ a meta-analysis by analyzing and synthesizing the more than 100 studies that have been published in the last four decades on the various effects on multiple dimensions of social control. The project will thus assess the extent to which the MTP is empirically supported and is generalizable across different contexts.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这个项目将研究社会控制的多个方面。为此，该研究将对研究对社会控制的各种影响进行荟萃分析。该项目将克服文献中的局限性，通过评估多个结果，并使用元分析，而不是叙事评论，以评估社会控制的背景效应的实证有效性和普遍性。这项研究将提供一个国家的最先进的评估的文献在各种社会控制的影响。忽视社会控制的多个方面，包括执法，监禁和判刑，法律和政策，以及非正式的社会控制，提供了一个不充分的和特设的测试被称为少数威胁的角度（MTP）的理论概念。这一差距是至关重要的，因为它使人怀疑MTP的有效性，可以说是用来解释种族和民族背景与社会控制之间关系的最突出的理论视角。为了克服这些局限性，该项目将通过分析和综合过去四十年来发表的100多项关于社会控制多个维度的各种影响的研究来进行荟萃分析。因此，该项目将评估MTP在多大程度上得到经验支持，并在不同的情况下具有普遍性。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
