Why the Police Should be Trained by Black People aligns scholarly
and community efforts to address how Black people are policed. It
combines traditional models commonly taught in policing courses,
with new approaches to teaching and training about law enforcement
in the U.S. all from the Black lens. Black law enforcement
professionals (seasoned and retired), scholars, community members,
victims, and others make up the contributors to this training
textbook written from the lens of the Black experience. Each
chapter describes policing based on the experience of being Black
in the US, with concern about the life and life chances for Black
people. With five sections readers will be able to: Describe the
history and theory of law enforcement, policing, and society in
Black communities Critically address how law enforcement and the
nature of police work intertwine with race-based societal and
governmental norms and within law enforcement administration and
management Understand the variation in pedagogy, recruitment,
selection, and training that has impacted the experience of police
officers, including Black police officers, and Black people in the
US Explore the role of law enforcement as crime control and crime
prevention agents as it relates to policing in Black communities
and for Black people Address issues related to race and use of
force, misconduct, the law, ethics/values Assess research,
contemporary issues, and the future of law enforcement and
policing, especially related to policing of Black people. Why the
Police Should be Trained by Black People brings pedagogical and
scholarly responsibility for policing in Black communities to life,
revealing that police involved violence, community violence, and
relative lived experiences do not exist in a vacuum. Written with
students in mind, it is essential reading for those enrolled in
policing courses including criminology, criminal justice,
sociology, or social work, as well as those undertaking police
academy and in-service police training.
