Radley Balko has published an updated version of the guide to research findings on racism in the criminal justice system, which he started when he was at the Washington Post. He left there three years ago.
He says he will continue to update it a few times a year.
There are more than 60 studies listed. A couple of his shortest descriptions:
- A 2023 study used the geolocation data from the smart phones of police in 23 major U.S. cities. It found that police spend far more time patrolling Black neighborhoods than other neighborhoods with similar crime rates and similar socioeconomic demographics.
- Between 2012 and 2014, the Los Angeles Police Department received more than 1,350 citizen complaints of racial profiling. The department didn’t uphold a single complaint.
Balko's page, of course, provides links to all of the studies.
