This story really needs a link to or citation of the source study.

If Jeff Rosen really liked things this way then he wouldn't have conducted the study.

It could be that a higher proportion of blacks and Hispanics COMMIT CRIMES or GET CAUGHT. Is someone actually taking money for these "studies"?

The story does need a reference to the study itself. I found a pdf at Web Link
I can't be sure it is the referenced study although it appears to be. I would say that the funding is irrelevant. The question is whether the analysis had the appropriate co-variables for previous arrests and convictions, etc.
