A criminal record reduces earnings and shifts workers across firms. Firms vary substantially—even within industry—in their propensity to hire workers with records, from @ProfHjalmarsson, Matthew J. Lindquist, Louis-Pierre Lepage, and @conradcmiller https://t.co/E3rvqr3wa6

Police search low-income motorists more often but are less likely to find contraband in those searches and disparities are driven, at least in part, by class-based profiling, from Benjamin Feigenberg and @conradcmiller https://t.co/K6G8I7biKb

@PeterBlairHenry Thank you @PeterBlairHenry!

@jenniferdoleac @sarahlageson @NiskanenCenter From an employer’s perspective, expungement and non-prosecution seem like similar policies to me. They both remove information, in a way. Can you say more about why you see the two as fundamentally different?

[Conrad Miller @conradcmiller]

Very cool to see this out. More details from earlier thread: https://t.co/GBC5puaNbb

@johannarickne @ianschmutte @mikekofoed @footeball45 I don't have the data access to do that, unfortunately, but may have leads for whom you can ask. I can send you more info via DM.

👋🏽 Excited to share research with Ben Feigenberg (@UICLAS) on racial disparities in motor vehicle searches conducted by highway patrol. TLDR: eliminating these disparities would *increase* contraband yield.

Police are more likely to search Black and Hispanic motorists for contraband during traffic stops, yet equalizing search rates across racial groups would increase contraband yield, from Benjamin Feigenberg and Conrad Miller

There’s more in the paper. For example, we find that low income motorists are also more likely to be searched yet those searches are less likely to yield contraband, and that black-white disparities in search are larger in counties with higher 2016 Republican vote shares. [END]

[Conrad Miller @conradcmiller]

Second, we abstract from deterrence effects. If troopers search white motorists at higher rates, perhaps white motorists would be less likely to carry contraband in the first place. We provide suggestive evidence in the paper that neither of these are first order issues. [19/20]
