Use the following paragraph to answer the question of "What is the relationship between race and crime in Canada"?

We examined whether cases in which the defendant's race was congruent with a race-stereotypic crime would result in more guilty verdicts and different responsibility attributions. Canadian juryeligible participants read 1 of 3 fictional trial transcripts in which we varied the defendant' (Black, White, or Aboriginal Canadian). We hypothesized that the Black defendant would receive the harshest treatment in an auto theft case, the White defendant in a fraud case, and the Aboriginal Canadian defendant in a matter of the dangerous operation of a motor vehicle while intoxicated. Results demonstrated only modest evidence of a congruency effect for these crimes. Although there was a Race Crime Type interaction, the patterns in verdict decisions diverged from previous work on racecrime stereotypes. There were no differences in verdict breakdowns for the White defendant. Although the Black defendant received a greater proportion of guilty verdicts for the auto theft trial than the dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, verdict decisions did not significantly differ when compared with the fraud trial. For the Aboriginal Canadian defendant, the only verdict difference was a greater proportion of guilty verdicts in the auto theft than in the fraud trial. Future researchers should examine a potential interaction with juror race when considering crime congruency. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2018 APA, all rights reserved)
