Racial Prejudice And Support By Whites For Police Use Of Force : A Research Note, Steven E. Barkan, Steven F. Cohn
Racial Prejudice And Support By Whites For Police Use Of Force : A Research Note, Steven E. Barkan, Steven F. Cohn
Sociology School Faculty Scholarship
The use of force by police in a democratic society continues to be controversial.

We also address the theoretical and pragmatic significance of our findings.
