Research on attitudes towards police show that citizen distrust is more widespread among Blacks than Whites. However, we know less about how gender intersects with race and neighborhood context in determining whether and why Black people fear the police. Here, I build from the insights of previous research by providing a contextual examination of the gendered nature of fear of the police among Black protesters and residents of Ferguson, Missouri and Baltimore, Maryland. Drawing from a larger qualitative study of race, policing, and protests following Michael Brown’s and Freddie Gray’s deaths, I examine 155 Black men’s and women’s accounts of why they do or do not fear the police. Policy implications are discussed, along with concrete recommendations for reducing anti-Black racism in police policy and practice. Journal of Ethnicity in Criminal Justice - Registration at source 22/10/2021 Research article Too Much Policing: Why Calls Are Made to Defund the Police The repeat use of fatal force against unarmed people of color has driven global protests against police violence and fueled criticism of policing as a mechanism for public safety. In the US, calls to abolish, transform, or reform policing have reemerged with a primary focus on the elimination of structural racism. In this essay, we contend that a two-tier policing problem exists. The first is the continued use of policing to enforce racial dominance through policing practices labeled as “proactive”. The second is contemporary “warrior-style” police training that normalizes the expectation of unquestioned compliance with police directives and authorizes police to use physical force in its absence. This dangerous combination results in over-policing the public generally and Black members of the public specifically. Select incidents are provided to support these claims.
