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"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Social conditions $y 1975- 650 0 $a African Americans $x Economic conditions. 650 0 $a Risk assessment $z United States. 650 0 $a Race discrimination $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Race relations. 650 0 $a Actuarial science $z United States. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Housing. 650 0 $a Life insurance $z United States. 650 0 $a African American criminals. 650 0 $a Sentences (Criminal procedure) $z United States. 650 6 $a Noirs americains $x Conditions sociales $y 1975- 650 6 $a Noirs americains $x Conditions economiques. 650 6 $a Evaluation du risque $z Etats-Unis. 651 6 $a Etats-Unis $x Relations raciales. 650 6 $a Actuariat $z Etats-Unis. 650 6 $a Noirs americains $x Logement. 650 6 $a Criminels noirs americains. 650 6 $a Sentences (Procedure penale) $z Etats-Unis. 650 7 $a Actuarial science. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01750236 650 7 $a African American criminals. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799127 650 7 $a African Americans $x Economic conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799599 650 7 $a African Americans $x Housing. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799626 650 7 $a African Americans $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799698 650 7 $a Life insurance. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01715858 650 7 $a Race discrimination. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086465 650 7 $a Race relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086509 650 7 $a Risk assessment. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01098146 650 7 $a Sentences (Criminal procedure) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01112638 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a Since 1975 $2 fast 776 08 $i Online version: $a Wiggins, Benjamin, 1985- $t Calculating race. $d New York, NY : Oxford University Press, [2020] $z 9780197504017 $w (DLC) 2020007984 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20230517011031.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D7060CBEEE0211ECABFB385646ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
