The Reverse Racism Effect (2016, result): “This finding is consistent with the psychological literature on racial stereotypes (Devine and Elliot, 1995), the experimental research on implicit bias in shooting behavior (Correll et al., 2006; James et al., 2014), and much of the criminological literature on police use of force in the field (Jac”
The Police Officer's Dilemma: A Decade of Research on Racial Bias in the Decision to Shoot (2014, background): “For example, Correll, Urland, and Ito (2006) measured cultural stereotypes and recorded event-related brain potentials (ERPs) during the FPST. ERPs measure fluctuations in the brain’s electrical activity.”
The influence of stereotypes on decisions to shoot (2007, methodology): “Threshold was assessed with the statistic, c. 1 Our previous work suggests that participants set a lower (more lenient) threshold when targets are Black, rather than White, but that race does not affect participants' ability to differentiate armed and unarmed targets (Correll et al., 2002, 2006).”
Across the thin blue line: police officers and racial bias in the decision to shoot. (2007, unknown): “At the same time, the salience and automaticity that generally characterize psychological processing of racial cues (Cunningham et al., 2004; Ito & Urland, 2003) suggest that—during the course of that search—participants are likely to encode target race. In combination with tenacious racial stereoty”
