About
RACIAL BIAS IN POLICING
More white Americans awoke to the deadly realities of racial bias in policing in the summer of 2020. But racial bias in policing is an issue as old as policing that intersects and connects to other facets of life in the United States, like racial disparities in discipline in schools (a.k.a. the school-to-prison pipeline) and neighborhood segregation.
