(“NS” – New slide) Intro
All people, even well-intentioned people have biases.
We’ll discuss various biases. We’ll explore what social-psychology has
taught us. Need to recognize our unconscious
biases, so we can implement UNbiased behavior

Fundamental Concepts of Human Bias Bias is a normal human attribute—even well-
intentioned people have biases Biases are often unconscious or “implicit” Implicit biases are sometimes incompatible with
our conscious attitudes Implicit biases can influence our actions Understanding how implicit bias can affect our
perceptions and behavior is the first step to “override” implicit bias
![Page 12: Fair and Impartial Policing. (“NS” – New slide) Intro All people, even well-intentioned people have biases. We’ll discuss various biases. We’ll explore.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c8f5503460f9494824b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
To Understand Implicit Bias, We Need to Understand…. Whom we are most likely to pre-judge What determines the characteristics we
assign to them Whether we know when we are prejudging
people
![Page 13: Fair and Impartial Policing. (“NS” – New slide) Intro All people, even well-intentioned people have biases. We’ll discuss various biases. We’ll explore.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c8f5503460f9494824b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
To understand implicit bias:
Whom do we pre judge?We prejudge people on sightWe prejudge “ambiguous stimuli”We “fill in” …
What determines the characteristics we attribute to them?Group stereotypes/biasesStereotypes: organize info, based in part on
facts

To understand implicit bias:
Whom do we pre judge?We prejudge “ambiguous stimuli”
What determines the characteristics we attribute to them?Group stereotypes/biases
Do we know when we are doing this?Not always.

Key Points of the “Blink” Response Recognize the “blink” response”
Snap judgments, “thinking without thinking”Can be helpful, but can be fallible
Replace “blink response” with objective (bias free) judgments

Stereotyping and Human Bias
When we don’t know an individual, we assign a group characteristic to them
Often we do not know when we are impacted by biases (they can be unconscious or “implicit” biases)
Recognizing our biases allows us to override them—to engage in unbiased behavior.

The “Bump” Study
Study: Experiencing an ambiguous “bump” from a stranger How did people interpret the bump by African
Americans versus the bump by Whites? Result: The “bump” was perceived as more
threatening when performed by an African American. Replicated to show this was true for both White and
non-White “victims”/subjects.

Hypotheses
If the Black-crime association impacts our visual perception, then: Participants primed with Black male faces
should be faster to identify crime-relevant objects than those primed with White male faces.
There should be no effect of prime for crime-irrelevant objects.

The Turban Effect Study
Research volunteers played a computer game that showed apartment balconies on which different figures appeared, some wearing Muslim-style turbans or hijabs and others bare-headed.
They were told to shoot at the targets carrying guns and spare those who were unarmed.

The Turban Effect Results
People were much more likely to shoot Muslim-looking characters even if they were carrying an “innocent item” instead of a weapon.
They also found a gender effect: Subjects were more likely to shoot men than women (even when harmless).

Increase their scrutiny of people of color Interpret ambiguous behavior on the part
of people of color as more aggressive Respond to people of color more
aggressively (e.g., as criminals) Under-respond to Whites, Asians, etc. etc.

[NS] Two remedies for our implicit bias “affliction”
Reducing our implicit biases Recognizing our biases and thwart their
impact on behavior.
![Page 75: Fair and Impartial Policing. (“NS” – New slide) Intro All people, even well-intentioned people have biases. We’ll discuss various biases. We’ll explore.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c8f5503460f9494824b/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Reducing Implicit Bias: Contact Theory
Positive contact between members of groups improves inter-group attitudes and reduces both explicit and implicit biases.
POSITIVE (e.g., people’s experiences with police)
Examples?
![Page 76: Fair and Impartial Policing. (“NS” – New slide) Intro All people, even well-intentioned people have biases. We’ll discuss various biases. We’ll explore.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c8f5503460f9494824b/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
Personal Contacts and Implicit Biases in Officers Peruche and Plant (2005) Measured
implicit bias on the part of officers Shoot/don’t shoot simulator to measure
implicit bias Surveys too
Police, too, manifest implicit racial biasBut implicit racial/ethnic bias is weaker in
officers who report positive interpersonal contacts with racial/ethnic minorities
![Page 77: Fair and Impartial Policing. (“NS” – New slide) Intro All people, even well-intentioned people have biases. We’ll discuss various biases. We’ll explore.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c8f5503460f9494824b/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
[NS] Reducing implicit biases by “Unlinking Stereotypes” Difficult to undo our implicit biases….took
lifetime BUT police firearms training seems to help
us unlink the stereotypes we associate with groups (e.g., minorities and danger)
How might this work?Repeatedly exposed to random pairing of
threat and race (and other demographics)
![Page 78: Fair and Impartial Policing. (“NS” – New slide) Intro All people, even well-intentioned people have biases. We’ll discuss various biases. We’ll explore.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c8f5503460f9494824b/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Simulator training can help us unlink: Correll Study Number 2
Methods: Both civilians and cops, shoot don’t shoot simulator
Speed: Both police and civilians exhibited robust racial bias
Errors: Bias was less likely to manifest itself in the decisions by police. Bottom Line: Police made the correct decisions…..
![Page 79: Fair and Impartial Policing. (“NS” – New slide) Intro All people, even well-intentioned people have biases. We’ll discuss various biases. We’ll explore.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c8f5503460f9494824b/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Interpretation:
High quality, role play use-of-force training helps police “unlink” race & crime for split-second use-of-force decisions.

Implementing “Controlled (unbiased) Behavior”
If we recognize our biases, we can implement “controlled behaviors” that override our (natural) implicit biases.
Examples? In fact, science: People who recognize
their biases and are motivated (well-meaning) can override.

Fundamental Concepts of Human Bias, In Summary
Bias is a normal human attribute—even well-intentioned people have biases

What would you do and why?
Do you have to intervene? Do you really have to respond to every behavior
the public finds offensive? Does a couple have the right to do what they are
doing? Are they doing anything illegal?
What’s the down side to intervening?

situations. You must use critical judgment. Throughout this training: You are learning
to recognize/handle your OWN biases…Here we emphasize: Do not let others’ biases
impact on your behavior.

Scenario
A woman in an all-White neighborhood calls 9-1-1 to report a “suspicious man in a car” out in front of her house. It appears that the only thing that is “suspicious” is that the man is Black; she is unable to articulate or identify any behaviors that indicate criminal activity.
In your teach-back groups: What are your options and the pros/cons of each?

Point of discussion
Not one right answer Point (skill): Think about options with a
“fair and impartial policing lens”Think about the perspective of the person in
the car…

[NS] Revised scenario
Same circumstance, but this time the man fits the description of a person in a vehicle who committed a home burglary in the area. You approach and question.
He convinces you he is not the burglar He is angry and accuses you of biased policing
How might you respond?

[NS] Why reduce ambiguity?
In discussion of Susan Boyle: We prejudge people who are “ambiguous
stimuli”Attribute group stereotypes to themDo not always know this is happening

[NS] Key Point
Officers acted quickly and a tragic outcome was producedThey misread cues.Bias might have impacted their decisions.
When you can, slow it down. Reduce ambiguity
Gather more information before you act (if you can)
So you don’t act on your biases.
