Query: Racial Sentencing Disparities and Differential Progression Through the
  Criminal Justice System: Evidence From Linked Federal and State Court Data   Several key actors -- police, prosecutors, judges -- can alter the course of
individuals passing through the multi-staged criminal justice system. I use
linked arrest-sentencing data for federal courts from 1994-2010 to examine the
role that earlier stages play when estimating Black-white sentencing gaps. I
find no evidence of sample selection at play in the federal setting, suggesting
federal judges are largely responsible for racial sentencing disparities. In
contrast, I document substantial sample selection bias in two different state
courts systems. Estimates of racial and ethnic sentencing gaps that ignore
selection underestimate the true disparities by 15% and 13% respectively.
