UK's fines for violating Covid-19 suppression rules
mercredi 5 mai 2021 à 02:00The UK's fines for violating Covid-19-suppression rules fell most heavily on disprivileged racial groups.
I think it would be interesting to study the importance of various factors in producing that result, including these:
- Bias, conscious or unconscious, on the part of those issuing the fines, so that whites get fined less often for the same behavior.
- people in disprivileged racial groups need more often to go somewhere physically and meet with someone.
- people in disprivileged racial groups are less likely to have a private outdoor space where meeting someone else was permitted.
- people in disprivileged racial groups tend to be poorer.
