implications for policy, practice, and other forms of
intervention aimed at redress.
Keywords: race; violence; lynching; historical trauma;

homicide, policing, sentencing, white suprem-

outcomes (Messner, Baller, and Zevenbergen
2005; King, Messner, and Baller 2009; Jacobs,
Carmichael, and Kent 2005; Cunningham
and Phillips 2007). Subsequent studies have
introduced methodological innovations, engaged
broader histories of racial violence, and otherwise
