A Geographic Approach to Racial Profiling (2009, background): “For example, Ridgeway (2006) found that black drivers were twice as likely as white drivers to be searched after being stopped, and only 18% of the searches led to an arrest.”
Doubly Robust Internal Benchmarking and False Discovery Rates for Detecting Racial Bias in Police Stops (2009, methodology): “For more detailed analysis of propensity score weights see Hirano and Imbens (2001), Wooldridge (2001, pp. 614–621), McCaffrey, Ridgeway, and Morral (2004), and Ridgeway (2006).”
Testing for Racial Profiling in Traffic Stops From Behind a Veil of Darkness (2006, methodology): “Other studies have noted racial disparities in poststop outcomes, such as stop duration and search rates (Ridgeway 2006).”
Race, Neighbourhood Context and Perceptions of Injustice by the Police in Cincinnati (2007, background): “Propensity score weighting deals better with confounding variables that are correlated with both race and the outcome of interest (perceptions of injustice by the police) (Rosenbaum, 1987; Hirano and Imbens, 2001; Wooldridge, 2002; Imbens, 2004; McCaffrey et al., 2004, Ridgeway, 2006).”
A multidisciplinary survey on discrimination analysis (2013, methodology): “The reference work for the propensity score approach can be found in Ridgeway (2006), who adopts risk difference as a discrimination measure, called the race effect, and estimates propensity scores by logistic regression on a data set of the Oakland Police Department.”
Causal Discrimination Discovery Through Propensity Score Analysis (2016, methodology): “It has been applied in econometrics [19], medical studies [8], and social sciences [8].”
Precinct or Prejudice? Understanding Racial Disparities in New York City's Stop-and-Frisk Policy (2016, background): “In a novel design, Grogger and Ridgeway (2006) analyzed traffic stops in Oakland and showed that the racial distribution of stopped individuals during the day, when a suspect’s race is readily apparent, matches the distribution at night, when the “veil of darkness” masks race, and thus concluded…”
