Our reexamination shows that only a small part of their empirical analysis is suitable for addressing this question (the fixed-effects estimates), and that these results are extremely fragile. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, we find that being interviewed in jail\/prison does not increase the survey respondent\u2019s likelihood of being classified as black, and avoiding incarceration during the survey period does not increase a person\u2019s chances of being seen as white. We conclude that the empirical component of Saperstein and Penner\u2019s work needs to be reconsidered and new methods for testing their thesis should be investigated. The data are provided for other researchers to explore.<\/p>\n<p>Read the entire article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sociologicalscience.com\/download\/vol-3\/march\/SocSci_v3_190to201.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can Incarceration Really Strip People of Racial Privilege?
