Question 1
The finding from Shaw and McKay that provides the most support for the racial invariance hypothesis is that:
Group of answer choices
a.rates of crime are highest in the inner city
b.crime rates remained high in certain in inner-city Chicago neighborhoods throughout time despite changes in the racial/ethnic composition of these neighborhoods
c.rates of crime vary across neighborhoods in the city
d.Black people have higher rates of crime than White people in Chicago
Question 2
These are instances in which racial/ethnic differences in crime are not fully explained by racial/ethnic differences in exposure to criminogenic contexts.
Group of answer choices
a.racial invariance effects
b.racial composition effects
c.racial/ethnic gaps in crime
d.residual race effects
Question 3
The general consensus of empirical research on the immigration-crime relationship is that immigration:
Group of answer choices
a.leads to major increases in violent crime but not property crime.
b.leads to major decreases in violence but not property crime
c.either reduces crime slightly or has no effect
d.leads to major increases in crime
Question 4
This is the argument that race/ethnic differences in crime are in large part explained by race/ethnic differences in exposure to criminogenic structural conditions (e.g. levels of structural disadvantage):
Group of answer choices
a.residual race effects
b.racial invariance thesis
c.social disorganization theory
d.adversary effects
Question 5
A researcher compares the crime rates of non-Latina/o White neighborhoods to Latina/o neighborhoods that have similar levels of structural disadvantage (e.g. poverty, unemployment). She finds that Latina/o neighborhoods have much lower rates of crime. This finding provides support for:
Group of answer choices
a.social disorganization theory
b.the Latina/o paradox
c.the theory of anomie
d.the racial invariance thesis
Question 6
A researcher finds that Latina/o neighborhoods have higher rates of crime than White neighborhoods in a particular city. She finds that the main explanation for this difference is that Latina/o neighborhoods experience higher levels of structural disadvantage. This explanation provides support for:
Group of answer choices
a.the racial invariance thesis
b.the Latina/o paradox
c.Both the racial invariance thesis and the Latina/o paradox
d.Neither the racial invariance thesis nor the Latina/o paradox
Question 7
True or False, race/ethnic differences in crime rates are in part explained by race/ethnic differences in the age and gender composition of racial/ethnic groups (e.g. Latina/o crime rates are, in part, higher than White crime rates because a higher percentage of the Latina/o population is young: 18-24, and male, demographic characteristics that are associated with higher levels of crime).
Group of answer choices
True
False
Question 8
Scholars have argued that protective elements of Latina/o culture (e.g. greater emphasis on community, cultural identity, and heritage) help explain why Latinas/os have lower rates of crime than would be expected given the levels of structural disadvantage they experience.
Group of answer choices
True
False
