The author has updated the following passage:
(1) “African Americans who did not reoffend are classified as at high risk of reoffending more often than white counterparts,” or (2) “African Americans who are classified as at high risk of reoffending reoffend less often than their white counterparts.”
In order to ensure greater accuracy of meaning, the passage now reads:
(1) “The rate at which those who did not reoffend are classified as at high risk of reoffending, and the rate at which those who did reoffend are classified as at low risk of reoffending, are different for African Americans and whites” (unequal error rates), or (2) “African Americans who are classified as at high risk of reoffending reoffend at a different rate than their white counterparts” (unequal predictive parity).
