Policing sexuality: Sexual minority youth, police contact, and health inequity
2022, SSM - Population HealthCitation Excerpt :In sensitivity analyses, we re-fit our models for whether respondents had ever been stopped using a log-binomial approach, which calculate risk ratios as opposed to odds ratios (but can have trouble converging, particularly in cases where there are small cell sizes) (Williamson et al., 2013). Given how powerfully race and racism shape policing in the US (McLeod et al., 2020; Weitzer, 1996; The President’ s Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice, 1967; National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders, 1968), we fit Model 3 again in race/ethnicity-specific, stratified samples. These models are underpowered and unstable given very small race-sex-SM status cells (Appendix 3), especially for more restrictive SM definitions, but serve as an informative exploratory analysis for future researchers in this area.

According to the Justice Policy Institute (2011),
