Exploring the impact of stereotypes on crime rates, this chapter stresses the need to move away from essentialist explanations and instead focus on beliefs and incentives. It references a book by an economist advocating for anti-essentialism and the importance of adjusting stereotypes with an open mind.
We're joined again by Rajiv Sethi, Professor of Economics at Barnard College at Columbia University and External Professor at the Santa Fe Institute to explore the intersection between stereotyping, crime, and the justice system to understand criminal behaviour beyond simplistic explanations.
