A Critical Evaluation of a Racial Literacy Education Program for Police Recruits
We used a practical-participatory evaluation method to develop and critically evaluate a racial literacy education program for police recruits. The 10-h Racial Literacy Project (RLP) education was developed over the course of a year and across two training cohorts. The programming was informed by the literature and using the input of a core academic team, veteran police officers, and community members. A quasi-experimental design was used to asse…

Studies suggest shorter term racial diversity education is ineffective in changing police officers’ attitudes and behaviors, partly due to strong emotional reactions and resistance to this type of content ( Schlosser, 2013 ; Zimny, 2015 ).

Ethnocultural Empathy and Racial Colorblindness Among White Police Recruits
We investigated how ethnocultural empathy and colorblind racial beliefs were associated through the racial composition of close friendship groups in police recruits.

Specifically, findings from path analyses indicated an indire…

The paper focuses on what police agencies can do to better address the moral risks of policing. These moral risks are central to officer wellness a…
