(1/22) In this @ScienceMagazine review, there's no mention of research by many scholars (e.g., Hurwitz, D. Johnson, Peffley, Unnever) who spent their careers studying the issue, nor of racial resentment, symbolic racism, or modern racism. A thread on some of the missing work.

[Julian M. Rucker, Ph.D. @jruck_psych]

New paper out today in @ScienceMagazine with @jaricheson! In it we argue that the widespread denial of structural racism in the US facilitates the tolerance for, and further perpetuation of, racial stratification in the criminal justice system. 1/4 https://t.co/t0NsZHdQEF
