This article investigates the individual and contextual roles of race on welfare sanctions: benefit cuts for failing to comply with work or other behavioral requirements under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program. Using six years of federal administrative data, I advance previous welfare research by providing a nationally representative analysis of participant-, county-, and state-level predictors of welfare sanctioning. Using theories of racial classification, racialized social systems, and racial threat as guiding frameworks, I find that black and Latina women are at a greater risk of being sanctioned than white women. Further, although odds of a sanction are slightly reduced for black women living in counties with greater percentages of blacks, the opposite holds for Latinas, who are at an increased risk of being sanctioned in counties with greater percentages of Latinos.
即根据《贫困家庭临时援助计划》，对未能遵守工作或其他行为要求的人削减福利。利用六年的联邦行政数据，我通过对参与福利计划者、县和州层面的福利制裁预测因素进行全国代表性分析，推进了以往的福利研究。以种族分类理论、种族化社会系统理论和种族威胁理论为指导框架，我发现黑人女性和拉丁裔女性比白人女性面临更大的制裁风险。此外，虽然居住在黑人比例较高的县的黑人女性受到制裁的几率略有降低，但拉丁裔女性的情况则相反，她们在拉丁裔比例较高的县受到制裁的风险增加。
