Suspect Citizens offers the most comprehensive look to date at the
most common form of police-citizen interactions, the routine
traffic stop. Throughout the war on crime, police agencies have
used traffic stops to search drivers suspected of carrying
contraband. From the beginning, police agencies made it clear that
very large numbers of police stops would have to occur before an
officer might interdict a significant drug shipment. Unstated in
that calculation was that many Americans would be subjected to
police investigations so that a small number of high-level
offenders might be found. The key element in this strategy, which
kept it hidden from widespread public scrutiny, was that
middle-class white Americans were largely exempt from its
consequences. Tracking these police practices down to the officer
level, Suspect Citizens documents the extreme rarity of drug busts
and reveals sustained and troubling disparities in how racial
groups are treated.
