Document Summary
Minority citizens, particularly african americans, are disproportionately stopped by police relative to their baseline populations. Lundman and kaufman were among the first researchers to use the contacts between police and the public component of the 1999 national crime. Victimization survey to estimate models of racial disparity in self-reported police vehicle stops. Some unbiased mechanisms that may also produce the appearance of racial disparity in stops. Race differences in the number of miles driven. Police patrolling patterns only coincidentally associated with the race distribution of drivers. Profiling - refers to police organizations" creating and acting on a set of characteristics, which can include race, used to describe a typical offender or offending population. Use of race in drug interdiction profiles. Became widespread in the us during the 1990s when it was developed and disseminated to state police forces by doj. Ex: minorities traveling through white - particularly white upper-class neighborhoods are at an increased risk of being stopped by the police.
