Abstract

Missouri has been a part of the national discussion on racial profiling for several years—most recently with the NAACP’s issuance of a statewide travel advisory warning Black motorists of high disproportionality in vehicle stops. In their annual reports of stop data, agencies can submit a response to explain their numerical data. This study inductively analyzes the content of these written responses (N = 806), which were submitted between 2001 and 2019. Findings indicate that agency responses contain rationales in accordance with a sense of group position, with explanations for stops, searches, and arrests of motorists of color framed in terms of outsiders as a problematic influx upon insider spaces. The responses also show that the explanations are more about policing place than a legitimate effort at maintaining safety of the jurisdiction. The results of this study have several important implications for research, theory, and policy.
车辆停靠和群体位置:密苏里州机构如何使用地点和种族来解释差异
几年来,密苏里州一直是关于种族定性的全国讨论的一部分——最近,全国有色人种协进会(NAACP)发布了一份全州范围的旅行建议,警告黑人司机在车辆停站时的比例很高。各机构可以在其年度停止数据报告中提交一份答复,解释其数字数据。本研究对2001年至2019年期间提交的这些书面答复(N = 806)的内容进行了归纳分析。调查结果表明,机构的回应包含了与群体立场感相一致的理由,并解释了对有色人种驾驶者的拦截、搜查和逮捕,将外来者视为对内部空间的有问题涌入。这些回应还表明,这些解释更多的是关于维持治安的地方,而不是维护司法管辖区安全的合法努力。这项研究的结果对研究、理论和政策有几个重要的启示。
