摘要

目的本研究考察了娱乐性大麻合法化对科罗拉多州（CO）和华盛顿州（WA）黑人和白人在整体监狱监禁和毒品相关监狱监禁方面的差异的影响。方法采用拟实验研究设计，采用综合控制法（SCM）和差异中差分法（DiD），使用美国国家惩教报告计划（NCRP）的数据和美国人口普查局2006年至2018年的州人口估计。结果我们的研究结果表明，在这两个合法化的州，娱乐性大麻合法化与黑人和白人在整体监狱监禁率或与毒品有关的监狱中的差异并没有显著减少与非合法化州相比，合法化后时期的监禁率。结论CO和WA的再生大麻对减少监禁中的种族不平等影响有限。

Marijuana legalization and racial disparities in prison incarceration in Colorado and Washington State: a quasi-experimental study

Objectives

This study examines the impact of recreational marijuana legalization on Black-White disparities in overall prison incarceration and drug-related prison incarceration in Colorado (CO) and Washington State (WA).

Methods

We employ a quasi-experimental research design via a matching approach using the synthetic control method (SCM) as well as the difference-in-differences (DiD) method, using data from the National Corrections Reporting Program (NCRP) and the U.S. Census Bureau’s state population estimates from 2006 to 2018.

Results

Our findings suggest that recreational marijuana legalization in these two legalized states is not associated with sizable and significant decreases in Black-White disparities in overall prison incarceration rates or drug-related prison incarceration rates over the post-legalization period, relative to the nonlegalized states.

Conclusions

Recreational marijuana in CO and WA has had a limited impact on lessening racial inequality in imprisonment.
