Paperback. Condition: New. From social science and biomedical research to government and media reporting, statistics on racial and ethnic disparities are everywhere. The numbers we typically encounter, however, are not straightforward comparisons. Researchers analyze data using adjustments such as regression models that are intended to address bias and confounding factors. Yet many common statistical practices produce misleading results, and some have flawed assumptions that inadvertently misrepresent the inequalities between groups.Jay S. Kaufman offers a clear and accessible guide to understanding the use and abuse of statistics on racial and ethnic disparities. Examining dozens of real-world examples spanning medicine, economics, education, and criminal justice, he shows how typical statistical practices-no matter how well-intentioned-have obscured the realities of injustice, with significant consequences for public policy.

The Race Variable is appropriate for undergraduate and graduate courses across the medical and social sciences-including sociology, demography, public health, epidemiology, medicine, and public policy-that focus on racial and ethnic disparities, and for all readers interested in the statistical foundations of our understanding of inequality.…
