RT Article T1 Neighborhood matters: the impact of community context on the cumulative case processing of firearm offenses JF Journal of crime and justice VO 45 IS 5 SP 646 OP 661 A1 Williams, Joshua H. A2 Deckard, Mica A2 Rosenfeld, Richard LA English YR 2022 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/1824189656 AB Drawing on the minority threat and focal concerns theoretical perspectives on criminal justice outcomes, the current study of arrests for firearm-related felony offenses in St. Louis examines the effect of neighborhood context on formal charges, bail, pretrial detention, and sentencing. The study finds that individuals charged with committing a firearm-related felony in More socioeconomically adVantaged neighborhoods receive significantly higher bail than those arrested for the same crimes in less advantaged neighborhoods. High bail increases the length of pretrial detention, which in turn raises the probability that the individual is sentenced to prison rather than placed on probation. The results highlight the importance of modeling the cumulative process of case disposition when assessing the influence of community context on criminal justice decision-making.
