Synopsis "Race and Representative Bureaucracy in American Policing"
This book examines issues of race and policing through the lens of representative bureaucracy theory. According to representative bureaucracy theory, demographic correspondence between government employees and the local population can lead to more favorable outcomes for minority groups. It argues that police forces with higher minority composition will have more positive outcomes across measures, such as fewer excessive force complaints and fewer fatal encounters with officers. Additionally, it asserts that more representative forces will demonstrate responsiveness and accountability by implementing policies such as citizen review boards for excessive force complaints.To do this, the book first provides a brief overview of issues surrounding race and policing in America. Then, by documenting racial representation occurring in local police forces nationwide, it explores the potential causes and consequences of underrepresentation. Finally, it discusses the implications of its findings and offers potential policy remedies and solutions that local law enforcements can pursue in order to reduce minority underrepresentation and improve policing outcomes.es.
