Structural racism is rooted in American social systems that were supposedly designed to promote citizens’ right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Social systems like policing, for example, are built on a foundation of discriminatory practices designed to disenfranchise Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC). One of the most recent visible examples of racially biased policing is the excessive use of force by officers toward BIPOC. In response, advocates, policy makers, and researchers have sought solutions. Police use-of-force reforms such as body-worn cameras (BWCs) and implicit bias training (IBT) have become popular and are currently being applied in many police departments across the country. However, evidence supporting the effectiveness of these reform strategies to reduce the use of force is mixed, and further evaluations are needed to understand why these strategies are purported to be an effective solution. The purpose of the current review is to ignite future empirical evaluations of use-of-force reform. Following a summary of the research conducted to date on BWCs and IBT, we will conclude with a brief discussion of how behavior analysts might improve and foster strategies that are efficacious. Our ultimate goal is to leave the reader with an understanding of where the data have taken us thus far and how behavior analysts and others can contribute to the reduction and eradication of the discriminatory practices present in policing and other social systems.

消除警察使用武力中种族偏见的两种策略的行为分析

结构性种族主义根植于美国的社会制度中,据说该制度旨在促进公民的生命权,自由权和追求幸福的权利。例如,治安等社会制度是建立在歧视性做法的基础上的,这些做法旨在剥夺黑人,原住民和有色人种(BIPOC)的权利。种族歧视性警务的最新可见例子之一是军官对BIPOC过度使用武力。作为回应,倡导者,政策制定者和研究人员寻求解决方案。警察的使用武力改革,例如随身摄像机(BWC)和隐性偏见训练(IBT)已变得很流行,并且目前正在全国各地的许多警察部门中应用。但是,支持这些改革战略减少武力使用效果的证据好坏参半,需要进一步评估,以了解为什么这些策略被认为是有效的解决方案。当前审查的目的是激发对使用武力改革的未来经验评估。在总结迄今为止对BWC和IBT进行的研究之后,我们将简要讨论行为分析师如何改进和促进有效的策略。我们的最终目标是让读者了解数据迄今所处的位置,以及行为分析人员和其他人员如何能够减少和消除警务和其他社会系统中存在的歧视性做法。当前审查的目的是激发对使用武力改革的未来经验评估。在总结迄今为止对BWC和IBT进行的研究之后,我们将简要讨论行为分析师如何改进和促进有效的策略。我们的最终目标是让读者了解数据迄今所处的位置,以及行为分析人员和其他人员如何能够减少和消除警务和其他社会系统中存在的歧视性做法。当前审查的目的是激发对使用武力改革的未来经验评估。在总结迄今为止对BWC和IBT进行的研究之后,我们将简要讨论行为分析师如何改进和促进有效的策略。我们的最终目标是让读者了解数据迄今所处的位置以及行为分析人员和其他人员如何能够有助于减少和消除警务和其他社会系统中存在的歧视性做法。
