Policing

Fair and Impartial Policing

The “fair and impartial policing perspective” reflects a new way of thinking about the issue of biased policing.  It is based on the science of bias, which tells us that biased policing is not, as some contend, due to widespread racism in policing.  In fact, the science tells that even well-intentioned humans (and thus, officers) manifest biases that can impact on their perceptions and behavior.  These biases can manifest below consciousness.
