• B)the fear of crime stemming from racial stereotypes does not just impact whites as people in the stereotyped racial and ethnic group can internalize the fears as well
• C)that black women are impacted by their identities as blacks and women when it comes to crime;in Allison's case,her racial identity was more important in shaping her perceptions of crime
• D)that the media's representation of blacks is the primary,and even only,reason that people largely associated blacks with criminality
