Presenter: Nazgol Ghandnoosh, Research Analyst, The Sentencing Project
Dr. Ghandnoosh’s recent report, Race and Punishment: Racial Perceptions of Crime and Support for Punitive Policies, synthesizes two decades of research revealing that white Americans’ strong associations of crime with blacks and Latinos are related to their support for punitive policies that disproportionately impact people of color.

Coming on the heels of the tragic events in Ferguson, Missouri, the report demonstrates that the consequences of white Americans’ strong associations of crime with blacks and Latinos extend far beyond policing.
