@iamastudent11 #so345 I think having officers read studies similar to this one could raise a lot of awareness and focus their minds on their own policing practices. I think it is similar to how police now monitor their actions more after the George Floyd protests because not only are regular citizens subject to surveillance like we have talked about, but police officers are subject to more surveillance by individual citizens due to the ability to easily record officers with phone cameras.

@iamastudent11 This is such an interesting question. I think that half would deny the research and say it is just this one area. However I think the other half would use this knowledge and take it with them when looking at their implicit biases. I think the specific officers in the book would have a hard time believing the book even though it was their truthful actions. #so345

@iamastudent11 I’m interested in this question too. Unfortunately I feel like many of them would feel like they’re automatically being accused of being bad people and get defensive. Though I would hope that more of them would have a more open mind and be more conscious of their actions and implicit biases. I agree a lot with @bear1234 . I think this book or something similar would be good to include in the curriculum of police training to help with bias. #so345
