Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Research indicates a link between various social control measures and the association of crime threat with African Americans. At the perceptual level it has been shown that individuals who associate blacks with crime are more likely to support harsh criminal policies. Since Hispanic populations are now the largest and fastest growing minority in the United States, studies assessing a possible ethnic or Hispanic threat are emerging. This growing body of research suggests that in areas with larger Hispanic populations, some crime control policies are stiffer than in other places. The present study is the first to explore the extent to which public perceptions of ethnic threat increase support for a variety of crime control measures. We use nationwide survey data from 2002 to test for this relationship, while controlling for other potential influences. The data are contextualized by race and ethnicity, as well as Hispanic composition of county to assess for possible differential interactions.
