Context
Here is a review of the information from the previous page.
We randomly selected 1,200 participants from the 2020 Race IAT. Below is the two-way table for the sample with the row variable Race and the column variable Crime-Focus. Here is a description of each variable.
Race: IAT participants’ self-reported race.
Crime-Focus: IAT participants’ response to the statement, “Law enforcement officers should pay particular attention to those social groups more heavily involved in crime, even if this means focusing on members of particular ethnic groups.”
