Williams: Statistical disparities don't necessarily mean injustices

How many times have we heard laments such as "women are 50 percent of the population but only 5 percent of Fortune 500 CEOs" and, as the Justice Department recently found, "blacks are 54 percent of the population in Newark, New Jersey, but 85 percent of pedestrian stops and 79 percent of arrests?" If one believes people should be represented socio-economically according to their numbers in the population, then statistical disparities represent injustices that demand government remedies. Before we jump to conclusions about what disparities mean and whether they are indicators of injustice, we might examine some other disparities to see what we can make of them.

Do statistical disparities mean injustice?

How many times have we heard laments such as "women are 50 percent of the population but only 5 percent of Fortune 500 CEOs" and, as the Justice Department recently found, "blacks are 54 percent of the population in Newark, N.J., but 85 percent of pedestrian stops and 79 percent of arrests"? If one believes that people should be represented socio-economically according to their numbers in the population, then statistical disparities represent injustices that demand government remedies. Before we jump to conclusions about what disparities mean and whether they are indicators of injustice, we might examine some other disparities to see what we can make of them.

A comedy show at Rutgers University that included racial and sexual epithets has drawn the ire of a student activist who called the show - paid for with $30,000 from mandatory student fees - "crude, non-productive and, quite frankly, racist." The Monday night show, part of homecoming week events on the Newark campus - which bills itself as the most diverse in America - was headlined by comedian Carlos Mencia, known for his raunchy, politically incorrect act.

Could a 1,500-year-old Catholic tradition be the answer to Newark's education problems?

The Brick City has the seventh-highest murder rate in the country; more than a third of its residents fall below the poverty line; the unemployment rate sits at a stubbornly high 14 percent.

A new documentary called "The Rule," attempts to answer those questions and more by chronicling the achievements of St. Benedict's Preparatory School in Newark.

Column: Do statistical disparities mean injustice?

How many times have we heard laments such as "women are 50 percent of the population but only 5 percent of Fortune 500 CEOs" and, as the Justice Department recently found, "blacks are 54 percent of the population in Newark, New Jersey, but 85 percent of pedestrian stops and 79 percent of arrests"? If one believes that people should be represented socio-economically according to their numbers in the population, then statistical disparities represent injustices that demand government remedies. Before we jump to conclusions about what disparities mean and whether they are indicators of injustice, we might examine some other disparities to see what we can make of them.
