In this interview, Pager talks about a social experiment she conducted on the effects of race and a felony conviction on opportunities for getting entry-level jobs. She found that among those job seekers with no criminal record, white applicants were more likely to get a call back when applying for a job than African American applicants (34 percent compared with 14 percent). Moreover, white applicants with a criminal record were more likely to receive call backs than African Americans with no criminal record (17 percent compared with 14 percent).Apply the concepts of “labeling theory” and “stigma” to explain these results.Hint: in the first paragraph define the concepts.In the second paragraph describe Pager’s research and in the third paragraph interpret Pager’s findings by applying the theories.
