The Independent 9/10/2022 News Strategic Responses to Navigating Police Encounters among Black Baltimore Residents Research on police-citizen interactions has largely explored the treatment of citizens by the police with less attention paid to citizens’ behavior toward the police. Studies that have examined the behavior citizens’ exhibit during police encounters have found that citizen behavior affects how they are treated by the police; yet, little scholarly attention has been given to the strategic responses’ citizens use during their encounters with officers. The few studies that have examined how citizens manage encounters with police focus primarily on young Black males, making it difficult to identify similarities and differences across gender. The following study makes use of in-depth interview data collected from a sample of 25 Black adults residing in Baltimore City who shared their personal experiences and observations of local police prior to Freddie Gray's death. We draw on race, gender, and place literature to understand how participants interpret their encounters with police and the options available to individuals when dealing with the police. Our analyses reveal that some strategic responses differed by respondent gender as did the nature of the police-citizen outcomes. Findings have implications as to how men and women make sense of police actions and how citizens manage their interactions with the police. Race and Justice - Subscription at source 9/10/2022 Research article Perceptions of the U.S. Police Among Latin-American Immigrants: A Bifocal Lens View The current study aimed to identify Latin-American immigrants’ bifocal lens views of the U.S. police and compare them to their contact experiences with their home-country police. We performed semi-structured interviews with twenty-one Latin-American immigrants who have resided in the Birmingham metropolitan area in Alabama. An inductive analysis approach was employed to analyze the qualitative data. The results showed that the Latin-American immigrants’ direct contact experience with the U.S. police has mainly been positive, but they still felt targeted. Even if their indirect experiences lead them to perceive a violent and biased image of the U.S. police force, participants appreciated the U.S. police as honest and not corrupt. Besides, while most participants expressed willingness to report crimes, they simultaneously recognized that other Latin-American immigrants would not feel comfortable reporting crimes due to the fear of deportation. Finally, we found that the perception of the U.S. police among Latin-American immigrants was primarily the result of the juxtaposition of the U.S. police's professionalism against their home-country police. We further discuss policy implications and study limitations in this study.
