Attitudes Of Black Americans, Towards Police Misconduct In An Urban Area, Demetric Rayshawn Armstead
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Little is known about Black Americans' experience with and attitudes toward the police. For Black Americans and the police to improve their relationship, police need to understand the factors that influence Black Americans' perceptions.
