Abstract

We provide the first evidence of the impact of 9/11 on outcomes for Muslims in the US criminal justice system. We focus on parole outcomes of Black Muslim men in the state of Georgia, and find large post-9/11 declines in the likelihood of being granted parole and a subsequent 23% relative increase in prison time for Muslim inmates. These impacts persisted for several years after 9/11 and were larger for inmates with higher levels of recidivism risk. We argue that these effects reflect unwarranted disparities driven by the decision-making of parole board members post-9/11.

假释委员会如何应对巨大的社会冲击?来自 9/11 恐怖袭击的证据
我们首次提供了 9/11 事件对美国刑事司法系统中穆斯林结果影响的证据。我们重点研究了佐治亚州黑人穆斯林男子的假释结果,发现 9/11 事件后穆斯林囚犯获得假释的可能性大幅下降,随后入狱时间相对增加了 23%。这些影响在 "9-11 "事件后持续了数年之久,而且对累犯风险较高的囚犯影响更大。我们认为,这些影响反映了 9/11 事件后假释委员会成员的决策所导致的不必要的差异。
