New #DataInsight from @LymKitty explores ethnic disparities across remand, plea & sentencing, and how these differ for men & women.

Findings show cumulative disadvantage for many ethnic minority groups at multiple decision points in the justice system.

"Criminal justice punishment is unequally distributed."

This blog from @LymKitty explores the concept of cumulative disadvantage in the justice system, and how this can influence later outcomes for ethnic minority groups.

[Kitty Lymperopoulou @LymKitty]

Excited to be working with cross-justice datasets on a new @ESRC @adruk project examining cumulative disadvantage and ethnic disparities in the CJS . You can read more about it here https://t.co/EaOoDF46wk

[ADR UK @adr_uk]

The first two users of the linked criminal justice data in this dataset are two ADR UK Research Fellows who recently began their projects.

They are exploring ethnic inequalities, reoffending and offender rehabilitation.

The latest #DataFirst: Cross-Justice System dataset is available for accredited researchers to apply to access 🔔

This connects @MoJGovUK data from civil/family courts with areas of the criminal justice system, inc. the Offender Assessment dataset.

"Ethnic inequalities in the criminal justice system" addresses knowledge gaps on wide ethnic disparities in the Criminal Justice System highlighted in recent government reports.

[ADR UK @adr_uk]

ADR UK Research Fellows Angela Sorsby and @LymKitty have used administrative data to investigate ethnic inequalities in the criminal justice system.

Clinks is pleased to have been part of new research from @EQUAL_CJS @AREtweets_ which shows racially minoritised people are dealt with more harshly in the courts and more likely to be imprisoned or remanded in custody 👇

[EQUAL @EQUAL_CJS]

Thank you to @TheVoiceNews for featuring this comprehensive research by @adr_uk fellow @LymKitty (@ManMetUni @ESRC @Clinks_Tweets) on ethnic inequalities in sentencing decisions ⚖️

EQUAL, with our wider @AREtweets_ work, will "keep challenging until there are improvements."

Race and ethnicity has been found to still play a ‘significant’ role in outcomes, six years on from the milestone review by @DavidLammy.

🗞️FEATURED @MetroUK!

Minority ethnic groups ‘still dealt with more harshly at courts’ new @adr_uk @EHRC research by @LymKitty, supported by @EQUAL_CJS @Clinks_Tweets finds.

[Kitty Lymperopoulou @LymKitty]

@gmhales @adr_uk The research also examined whether defendants convicted in the Crown Court receive a custodial sentence, and the sentence length of a custodial sentence. The sentencing models include additional variables such as plea & pre-trial detention not included in the remand models.

[Kitty Lymperopoulou @LymKitty]

@gmhales @adr_uk Yes, you can see some of the variables included in the models in the ADR report https://t.co/TwbXAEuRRg

[Kitty Lymperopoulou @LymKitty]

@gmhales @adr_uk The research examined 3 outcomes: remand in custody by the Police, imprisonment and sentence length. The remand outcome is a measure of whether a defendant was remanded in custody by the Police prior to appearing at  a magistrates’ court.

[susan mcvie @susanmcvie]

Fantastic research @LymKitty, showing the power of #admindata to identify #ethnic #inequalities in #justice systems.

Pity this can't be replicated in #Scotland as @PoliceScotland, @SCTScourtstribs, @copfs and @scottishprisons data are not available for data linkage. 🙁

[ADR UK @adr_uk]

Research led by ADR UK Research Fellow @LymKitty uses #securedata to examine the independent effect of ethnicity on remand and sentencing outcomes.

Important new work led by ADR UK Research Fellow @LymKitty

Take a look at the findings⬇️

[Action for Race Equality @AREtweets_]

This is a pattern repeated in remand. The likelihood of remand is:
- 60% higher for Chinese defendants
- 37% higher for those in the Other White group
- 22-26% higher for defendants in the Mixed group
- 15-18% higher for Black defendants
Compared to White British defendants

[Action for Race Equality @AREtweets_]

Large disparities exist in #sentencing.

Uniquely linked Crown & magistrates court data from @MoJGovUK's #Datafirst programme show Chinese defendants are 41% more likely to receive a custodial sentence compared to White British defendants.
