There is evidence for this disturbing effect in a study by the L.S.U. economists Ozkan Eren and Naci Mocan, who analyzed more than a decade of juvenile court records in south Louisiana to demonstrate that judges imposed harsher penalties on black defendants in the weeks following upset losses by the L.S.U. football team. Controlling for the type of offense and examining judicial behavior in each week that followed an L.S.U. football loss in a game the team had been favored to win, Eren and Mocan found that judges imposed “excess punishments of juvenile defendants in Louisiana by a total of more than 1,332 days.”
