Fundamentally a conflict perspective, racial threat theory emphasizes the dominant groups use of state apparatuses, including criminal law, to control subordinate groups who threaten their interests. As originally posed by Blalock (1967), the increased presence and visibility of minority groups is perceived by whites as an economic threat and political threat (later scholars have amended Blalock's theory to include the threat of black crime.) Further, racial threat theorists suggests that dominant groups respond to increases in minority populations through political discrimination, symbolic segregation and threat-oriented ideologies.
While the original racial threat theory and subsequent interpretations pay little, if any, attention to the educational system as a means of exerting social control over minority populations, interpretation of racial threat theory into an educational context may provide a theoretical framework from which to consider racial disparaties in school discipline. More specifically, increased reliance on more punitive punishment for school misconduct (criminal or otherwise) may be related to school desegregation and increases in immigrant student populations.

Can a theory change over time and how?
yes. if a new scientist comes along that is more educated a theory can change. over time scientists learn more and more about topics and they can be updated when new information is discovered.
What the proper sequence in the scientific method?
To create a theory:1. Start with an idea2. Do some experiments3. Do the experiments is support the idea? No? Bad idea4. Yes, then theory is created5. Get more information to better understand6. Discover even more information7. Modify theory8. Does modification explain the idea? No? End of theory.9. Yes? Explain the new evidence?10. Improve the theory.
Why is a scientific theory more than a just a theory?
It isn't
Can a controlled hypothesis be called a theory?
No. Much more has to be done to prove any hypothesis a theory.
Which theory states that all matter is made up of tiny particles in constant motion?
Atomic theory. And in much more weird detail: quantum physics.
Where can one find more information about threat signals?
Threat Signals are a Canadian death metal band, more information about them can be found on their fan pages or facebook sites. They also feature in Canadian music magazines from time to time.

What is something has a lot of support and is more just a hunch?
A theory has a lot of supporting information behind it and is much more than a hunch. However it is not a fact. As more information becomes known, the theory can either become a fact or it may be shown to be wrong.

Why was losing information more of a threat 1200 years ago than it is today?
Losing information was more of a threat 1200 years ago because the methods of preserving information were less advanced, such as through handwritten manuscripts that were vulnerable to damage or loss. Additionally, fewer copies of important texts existed, making them more susceptible to destruction. Today, information can be stored digitally and replicated easily, reducing the risk of permanent loss.

What does it mean too dream of a murderer?
This dream is a reflection of the dreamer's fear of some sort of threat. More information would be needed for a more complete interpretation.

How is the idea of evolution a threat to scientific progress?
The idea of evolution is that evolution is a fact and the theory of evolution by natural selection explains much about the fact of evolution. Your question is ill posed. A more modern phrase would say your question is malformed. How could the fact of evolution be a threat to anything? How could the theory that is the backbone of biology not be one of the greatest progressions in science? Much confusion between fact and theory. Theory explains fact and encompasses fact and is a higher scientific concept than fact.
