A report entitled underscores the paucity of research examining police violence toward Black women. This study focused on how valuing a White police officer and symbolic racism moderate reactions when the officer fatally shoots a Black or White woman during a traffic stop. At high levels of officer valuing, symbolic racism was positively associated with perceptions the victim presented a threat to the officer, but negatively associated with support for punishing the officer and perceived victim compliance; these associations were stronger when the victim was Black relative to White. At low officer valuing levels, there was no variability in the link between symbolic racism and the outcome variables as a function of victim race. Implications for bias in judicial outcomes for the victim and officer are discussed.
一份题为 的报告强调了研究警察对黑人女性暴力行为的匮乏。本研究关注的是,当警察在交通拦截中枪杀一名黑人或白人女性时,警察的价值和象征性种族主义如何调节反应。在警官高度重视的情况下,象征性种族主义与认为受害者对警官构成威胁的看法呈正相关,但与支持惩罚警官和认为受害者顺从的看法呈负相关;当受害者是黑人而不是白人时,这些关联更强。在警官重视程度较低的情况下,无论受害者的种族如何,象征性种族主义与结果变量之间的联系都没有变化。讨论了这对受害者和警官司法结果中存在偏见的影响。
