Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Relationships between police and racial minority communities continue to be strained as traditional cultural diversity training for police struggles to equip officers with the skills needed to interact with and build trusting relationships with racial minority citizens. Previous quantitative research indicated that when the police treat citizens according to procedural justice, citizens are more likely to report a positive experience. However, there was a lack of qualitative research aimed at understanding the lived experiences of officers who have been trained in procedural justice and their perceptions of how that training influenced their ability to build trusting relationships with racial minority …
