How to Correctly Collect and Analyze Racial Profiling Data: Your Reputation Depends on It! is particularly timely as more and more states mandate that law enforcement agencies collect traffic stop data. As part of this project, CNAC worked with the Baltimore (MD) Police Department, the Phoenix (AZ) Police Department, the Chattanooga (TN) Police Department, and the St. Paul (MN) Police Department, all of which are highlighted in the document along with the Oakland (CA) Police Department.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMore than 400 United States law enforcement agencies have\u003cbr\u003einstituted traffic-stop data-collection measures and 14 states have\u003cbr\u003epassed legislation mandating racial profiling policies. Polls indicate\u003cbr\u003ethat a majority of citizens believe that police departments engage in\u003cbr\u003eracial profiling, while most police chiefs do not believe their officers\u003cbr\u003eengage in racial profiling. This difference of perception, at times,\u003cbr\u003eis a reflection of a fractured relationship between the police and\u003cbr\u003ethe community. Citizens who do not trust the police are less likely\u003cbr\u003eto invest their time in understanding police policies, procedures, or\u003cbr\u003eefforts to collect data. Police, on the other hand, feel they are likely\u003cbr\u003eto be unfairly accused of racial profiling, and may be less enthusiastic\u003cbr\u003eabout pursuing their duties. Many departments have swiftly\u003cbr\u003eimplemented mechanisms to collect data to investigate allegations of\u003cbr\u003eracial profiling, but too often base their conclusions on comparing\u003cbr\u003epreliminary data on traffic stops to aggregate city demographics\u003cbr\u003ewithout establishing credible benchmarks for comparison purposes.\u003cbr\u003eThese superficial evaluations are dangerous, in that they may foster\u003cbr\u003eincorrect conclusions and generate inappropriate corrective measures.","brand":"1001 Property Solutions LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47081862791408,"sku":"2940012857590","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012857590_p0.jpg?v=1763573478","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012857590","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
