Such studies also often ask for offending history with the question "Have you ever…" thereby conflating the 22 Anthony Walsh distinction between one-time and frequent offenders. Additionally, there is "evidence that black males' self-reports of delinquency are less valid than the reports of other groups: Black males underreport involvement at every level of delinquency, especially at the high end of the continuum" (Cernkovich, Giordano, & Rudolph, 2000:143). Even if this were not true, selfreport data are generally collected from high schools and colleges, which are not places where one expects to find many seriously involved criminal individuals.
Yet, this is the only Index offense for which African Americans are consistently under-represented in the arrest data, which I interpret as less involvement in drunken driving among African Americans. Additionally, the vast proportion of police activity is reactive rather than proactive. That is, they respond to reports of crimes by citizens rather than initiate arrests proactively, which again restricts them from exercising any biases they may harbor.
