Abstract:
|
Examining the spatial and contextual features of race-specific stop rates, this paper combines structural indicators of racial threat, urban disadvantage and social disorganization with citizen-police contact data on more than 61,000 police stops in the Miami Dade area. While the existing racial profiling literature tends to vary greatly in scope and analytical strategy, research that takes into account spatial dynamics coupled with neighborhood characteristics when examining race-specific stop rates has yet to be offered. Furthermore, given the race and ethnic diversity of the Miami-Dade population, we assess and compare the rate of police stops involving Hispanic drivers to those of whites and African Americans within the context of Miami-Dade communities. Using a spatial multivariate regression technique, initial analysis reveal indicators of racial threat and social disorganization are predictive of race-specific stop rates, while controlling for levels of police misconduct and violent crime rates. Our results suggest that spatial analysis is consequential to the macro-level study of race-based policing. |
