The current work examined police officers' decisions to shoot Black and White criminal suspects in a computer simulation. Responses to the simulation revealed that upon initial exposure to the program, the officers were more likely to mistakenly shoot unarmed Black compared with unarmed White suspects. However, after extensive training with the program, in which the race of the suspect was unrelated to the presence of a weapon, the officers were able to eliminate this bias. These findings are discussed in terms of their implications for the elimination of racial biases and the training of police officers.
当前的研究通过计算机模拟考察了警察对黑人及白人犯罪嫌疑人开枪的决策情况。对模拟的反应显示，在初次接触该程序时，与 unarmed 白人嫌疑人相比，警察更有可能误杀 unarmed 黑人嫌疑人。然而，在对该程序进行大量训练后（在训练中嫌疑人的种族与是否持有武器无关），警察能够消除这种偏见。本文从消除种族偏见及警察培训的角度对这些研究结果进行了讨论。
