The object of this research is to analyze the frequency of being stopped by police in a public area. This paper explores the potential relationship between being stopped by law enforcement and the demographics of race, sex, and income. Participants of the study were respondents to the 2015 Police-Public Contact Survey which asked varying questions regarding interactions with law enforcement within the past twelve (12) months. Variables were recoded into dummy variables and tested through descriptive, bivariate, and multivariate statistics. Results found that only sex was statistically significant in impacting likelihood of being stopped my police in a public area.

Symbolically Annihilating Female Police Officer Capabilities: Cultivating Gendered Police Use Of Force Expectations, Howard Henderson
Center for Justice Research Reports
This first step cultivation analysis examines the quantity, temporal dynamics, and stance of muni-cipal police officer use of force depictions based on the gender of the officer. The 112 theatri-cally released films that comprise the core cop film genre were systematically identified. Subsequently, a population of 468 police use of force scenes was identified to serve as the units of analysis for this study.

Given that there is very little research available – in Canada or elsewhere – on police leadership education and training, and police are being challenged to work in increasingly complex decision and task environments, an empirical analysis in this area is both timely and of significance utility for shaping both public policy and police practice. This study answers the following research questions:
RQ1. What forms of police leader education and training currently exist for Canadian police leaders?
RQ2. Are these courses and/or programs suitable for the needs of police leaders given the demands they face?
To answer these questions, we …

Monetarily, the courts have a problem of having to deal with cases involving police misconduct. Due to …
Foreword: Abolition Constitutionalism, Dorothy E. Roberts
Foreword: Abolition Constitutionalism, Dorothy E. Roberts

In this Foreword, I make the case for an abolition constitutionalism that attends to the theorizing of prison abolitionists.

Part II considers whether the U.S. Constitution is an …
