- A study by Andrew Penner, sociology assistant professor, is featured in The Christian Post February 12, 2014
From The Christian Post:
In an study published in the March 2014 issue of The Annals of the American Academy
of Political and Social Science, Saperstein, along with coauthors Andrew Penner, assistant
professor of sociology at Berkeley, and Jessica Kizer, a graduate student in sociology
at UC Irvine, found that those who are arrested are more likely to be classified as
black after their encounters with law enforcement. Results indicate even one arrest
significantly increases the odds of subsequently being classified as black, and decreases
the odds of being classified as white or Asian," they wrote.
