Identifying Racial Bias In Policing | Camelia Simoiu | TEDxBeaconStreet

Identifying racial bias in policing: current shortcomings and new approaches Over 20 million traffic stops are conducted annually in the U.S., making this the primary way in which the public interacts with law enforcement. Although there is widespread concern of racial bias in these interactions, accurately identifying and measuring bias is difficult -- existing tests can often give misleading results in practice. Here’s why, and how a new test to identify bias in officers’ decisions to search drivers overcomes some of the current limitations.
