Document Summary
A lot of individuals can act in violent situations. They can have different reasons to participate. Compare interactions (similar) and it finds that police are less likely to use lethal force on. Are actually experiencing racial violence (class disc) Racial bias = relative rate of doing something against a specific population. Police reports could be skewed since the cops aren"t held accountable for bias in the police reports! inequality that exists between demographic groups even though economic agents (consumers, workers, employers, etc. ) are rational and non-prejudiced. Discrimination can be rational if individual attributes are hard to observe (e. g. propensity toward crime) while group membership is observable and different groups have different behaviors on average. If they don"t know whether you are carrying drugs, i tmay bejustified to stop somoene of that race if it isknown that race is more likely to carry drugs (or whatever crime) Assessments must be known to be objective.
