Content: white people agree with criminal justice outcomes more when they think race disproportionately targets black people for incarceration. According to a 2012 Stanford study conducted in "liberal" San Francisco and New York City, when white people were told that black people were unfairly impacted by punitive criminal justice policies like three-strikes laws and stop-and-frisk, they were less likely to advocate for criminal justice reform. In a similar vein, researchers found in 2007 that telling whites about racist sentencing laws made them favor harsher sentences. That is, racism made them like those sentences more. The study authors write: “ [ O]ur most startling finding is that many whites actually become more supportive of the death penalty upon learning that it discriminates against blacks.” Advertisement: 8.

This is perhaps one of the most horrifying findings in a list of horrifying findings.
