Abstract
An analysis conducted by a Chicago newspaper looked at data of traffic stops by campus police officers on campuses throughout the state and found that campus safety officers were more likely to pull over Black drivers on campus than white drivers, and were more likely to ticket Black drivers, while letting white drivers off with a warning. Reporters at WBEZ and the Chicago Sun-Times analyzed traffic stop data from the Illinois Department of Transportation for its investigation.
