@WeCops Unfortunately, I don’t think we really know. Unequal outcomes in policing (internal and external) will result from multiple, inter-connected processes. Not all these relate to ‘UB’. The evidence on these processes, esp in the UK, is pretty limited. /1 #wecops@WeCops IMO too much time is spent crunching quant data to ‘prove’ or ‘disprove’ bias, and not enough time is spent exploring the mechanisms that could cause it and its consequences. How much bias is individual, cultural, processual, systemic, etc? /2 #wecops
