Young People of Color Mistrust Police, Report Finds

According to a new report from the Black Youth Program at the University of Chicago, it is more likely that black young people have negative experience with police than other young people, and the US legal system treats all groups equally I believe it is not.

The Black Youth Project Report examines the survey data of young people in 2014 and 2009 based on recent ethnic tensions, including Michael Brown and Traybon's death, UChicago's ethnic culture · culture It is a nationwide cooperative study of the Cultural Research Center. Martin

"The 18-year-old Michael Brown died of police in Ferguson, Missouri, so the media was paying attention to the ethnic tension of the inhabitants there, but this situation is not new in the black community," Kathy J. Cohen, Wei said. And Professor of Green Politics Professor Mary Winton co - authored with Jon C. Rogowski, assistant professor of political science at the University of Washington in St. Louis. "The tragedies of Michael Brown and these similar events are an indicator of organizational fraud and have brought about a long-standing tension between law enforcement agencies and black society," Cohen said.

The report data comes from a survey of mobilization and change in 2009 including 3,202 respondents and a black-and-youth project survey in 2014 that investigated 1,527 people between the ages of 18 and 29. The main findings are as follows.

Black youth reported that the percentage of harassment by police is the highest (54.5%), about twice that of other young people.

Compared with 71.5% of white youth, 59.6% of Latin young people and 76.1% of Asian youth, less than half (44.2%) of black youths trust police.

Compared with other racial and ethnic young people, most black youth think that nearby police are protecting (66.1%)

"These data also indicate that young people across the country have very different views on ethnic group legislation," Rogowksi said. "The equal protection provided by law is an important part of political equality and human rights, but many of the colored people do not believe that the legal system treats all groups fairly," Rogowski said .

Only about a quarter (26.8%) of the black youth says that the US legal system treats all groups equally. Most black youth (60.2%) reported that they felt like a perfectly equal citizen, but this number is the lowest among the surveyed groups.

"Unfortunately, the difference between these experiences and perceptions is not simply the result of a scholar's writing," Cohen says. "The reality of their lives really has so many young blacks in their lives."

According to a new report issued by the judgment project to the United Nations, there are major ethnic differences in all aspects of the US criminal justice system. The report found discrimination in police, pretrial, verdict, post parole and out of jail in the national judicial system for color people. The report has attributed these statistics to 'the disproportionate proportion of African Americans and police contacting drugs in particular. More than a quarter of the people arrested for violating drugs in 2015 were African Americans, but the drug usage rate is "there is no big difference between race or ethnic group," he said.

In news coverage, the number of white people who call the police when they meet colored people has increased. Since I started writing this article in 2000 articles, at least two other Caucasians reported to the police about color people without a reasonable excuse. When this happens, the caller reports "little activity" or "suspicious behavior", or a little boy playing with a toy gun. The most important thing - they are afraid because they are afraid - they call this fear on the implicit prejudice they and most Americans have learned through their life.

The problem that is getting worse in Grigny and other countries is distrust between the police and young people. It is the center of the riots in 2005 and has not been solved yet. There is no community policing. Usually it is an elite unit. After a decade's family court struggle this year police officers were tried and did not help Zyed Benna and BounaTraoré, the boy who triggered the 2005 riot. One of the declarations of Hollande is a non-supervised French supervised police ID card registration for non-whites, called stop-and-search, which is considered unpaid, targeting black or North African young people only to walk on the street I promised to start. However, due to the anger of many voters violating regulations, Hollande has updated this commitment, such police tests remain unmonitored
