Although I do agree with Dell about the difficulty with the words non-trivial and consensus, I still think that the following would be examples of what you're asking:
1. growing incarceration rates 2. increases in incarceration mainly due to drug war (specifically marijuana possession) 3. growing inequality 4. gender differences in household division of labor (women doing more) 5. disparate educational opportunities (race and class) I'd like to hear what others consider non-trivial and agreed upon findings.
