Race and Policing in America is about relations between police and
citizens, with a focus on racial differences. It utilizes both the
authors' own research and other studies to examine Americans'
opinions, preferences, and personal experiences regarding the
police. Guided by group-position theory and using both existing
studies and the authors' own quantitative and qualitative data
(from a nationally representative survey of whites, blacks, and
Hispanics), this book examines the roles of personal experience,
knowledge of others' experiences (vicarious experience), mass media
reporting on the police, and neighborhood conditions (including
crime and socioeconomic disadvantage) in structuring citizen views
in four major areas: overall satisfaction with police in one's city
and neighborhood, perceptions of several types of police
misconduct, perceptions of police racial bias and discrimination,
and evaluations of and support for a large number of reforms in
policing.
