The Impact of Police Deployment on Racial Disparities in Discretionary Searches
A large and growing body of research finds racial disparities in discretionary searches of drivers during traffic stops with Black drivers disproportionately involved in these investigations. Among the explanations for these disparities is the deployment hypothesis which suggests that as police departments increasingly adopt hot spots policing strategies, proactive traffic stops and discretionary searches may spatially cluster around crime hot sp…

A review of published research reveals a consistent pattern between the populations of drivers included in analyses—all drivers or searched drivers—and the relationship between driver race and discretionary searches. This methodological explanation is…
