Abstract
This chapter analyzes public opinion data from six focus groups with Black and White residents of the greater Boston metro area and a national survey of Black and White Americans. Respondents were asked to allocate money within a hypothetical crime prevention budget. Investment options included allocating money to police, probation, public schools, community healthcare clinics, and community job creation programs. A framing experiment in the survey manipulated the adjectives that described the communities that would receive funds. According to racial priming theory, the treatments evoked a variety of implicitly and explicitly racialized cues, such as “high crime communities” or “African American communities.” Results indicate that exposure to implicitly racialized descriptions of recipient communities did not change respondents’ investment preferences, on average. In contrast, White respondents who were told explicitly that “African American communities” would receive the crime prevention funding allocated significantly less money into community institutions and more money into criminal justice institutions than White respondents in the control group, on average. The chapter also examines how focus group participants chose which neighborhoods, towns, or cities should receive funding. The chapter concludes with a discussion of Americans’ support for targeted versus universal funding to address social problems.
