Today, large differences among racial and ethnic groups continue to exist in employment, income and wealth, housing, education, criminal justice, health, and other areas. While many factors may contribute to such differences, their size and extent suggest that various forms of discriminatory treatment persist in U.S. society and serve to undercut the achievement of equal opportunity. Measuring Racial Discrimination considers the definition of race and racial discrimination, reviews the existing techniques used to measure racial discrimination, and identifies new tools and areas for future research. The book conducts a thorough evaluation of current methodologies for a wide range of circumstances in which racial discrimination may occur, and makes recommendations on how to better assess the presence and effects of discrimination. 606 $aRace discrimination$xResearch$xStatistical methods 615 0$aRace discrimination$xResearch$xStatistical methods. 676 $a305.8 701 $aBlank$b Rebecca M$0122758 701 $aDabady$b Marilyn$01808192 701 $aCitro$b Constance F$g(Constance Forbes),$f1942-$01804879 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bPanel on Methods for Assessing Discrimination. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910953303503321 996 $aMeasuring racial discrimination$94358324 997 $aUNINA
