It illustrates how, through a reliance on the variable of race, actuarial science transformed the nature of racism and, in turn, helped usher racial disparities in wealth, incarceration, and housing from the nineteenth century into the twentieth. The monograph begins by investigating the development of statistical risk assessment explicitly based on race in the late-nineteenth-century life insurance industry. It then traces how such risk assessment migrated from industry to government, becoming a guiding force in sentencing and parole decisions and in federal housing policy. Finally, it concludes with an analysis of "proxies" for race-statistical variables that correlate significantly with race--in order to demonstrate the persistent presence of race in risk assessment even after the anti-discrimination regulations won by the Civil Rights Movement. Offering readers a new perspective on the historical importance of actuarial science in structural racism, Loaded Dice is a particularly timely contribution as Big Data and algorithmic decision making increasingly pervade American life"-- |cProvided by publisher. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web 650 0 African Americans |xSocial conditions |y1975- 650 0 African Americans |xEconomic conditions. 650 0 Risk assessment |zUnited States. 650 0 Race discrimination |zUnited States. 650 0 Actuarial science |zUnited States. 650 0 African Americans |xHousing. 650 0 Life insurance |zUnited States. 650 0 African American criminals. 650 0 Sentences (Criminal procedure) |zUnited States. 651 0 United State |xRace relations. 655 0 Electronic books. 710 2 Oxford University Press. 856 40 |zFull text available from Oxford Scholarship Online History |uhttps://go.openathens.net/redirector/ecu.edu?url=https%3A%2F%2Facademic.oup.com%2Fbook%2F33461 856 40 |zFull text available from Oxford Scholarship Online |uhttps://go.openathens.net/redirector/ecu.edu?url=https%3A%2F%2Facademic.oup.com%2Fbook%2F33461 949 CLICK ON WEB ADDRESS |wASIS |hJOYNER188 949 CLICK ON WEB ADDRESS |wASIS |hHSL77 949 CLICK ON WEB ADDRESS |wASIS |hJMUSIC60 596 1 3 4 998 5571845
