Abstract

Police administrators are looking for concrete pathways to fight the phenomenon of (ethnic) prejudice among members of the police force. Surprisingly, few studies have assessed the effectiveness of existing police ethics training programs on prejudice and social dominance orientation. Therefore, we assessed the impact of a 1-day training called the Holocaust, Police, and Human Rights (HPH) program on the attitudes related to ethnic prejudice and social dominance orientation of 223 members of the Belgian police. Analyses of three-wave panel data indicate that HPH training reduced ethnic prejudice and social dominance orientation. For ethnic prejudice, the reduced effects were maintained after 1 month in the follow-up study. However, the effect of training on prejudice was weaker for police officers who were more often exposed to victims and perpetrators of crime. No lasting effect of HPH training was found for social dominance orientation.

警察道德培训对民族偏见和社会支配取向的影响

警察管理人员正在寻找具体的途径来打击警察部队成员中的（种族）偏见现象。令人惊讶的是，很少有研究评估现有警察道德培训计划在偏见和社会支配取向方面的有效性。因此，我们评估了为期一天的名为大屠杀、警察和人权（HPH）计划的培训对223名比利时警察对种族偏见和社会主导取向的态度的影响。对三波面板数据的分析表明，HPH训练减少了种族偏见和社会支配取向。对于种族偏见，在随访研究中，减少的影响在1个月后保持不变。然而，对于更经常接触犯罪受害者和犯罪者的警察来说，针对偏见的培训效果较弱。HPH训练对社会支配取向没有持久的影响。
