Abstract

Using footage from body-worn cameras, we analyze the respectfulness of police officer language toward white and black community members during routine traffic stops. We develop computational linguistic methods that extract levels of respect automatically from transcripts, informed by a thin-slicing study of participant ratings of officer utterances. We find that officers speak with consistently less respect toward black versus white community members, even after controlling for the race of the officer, the severity of the infraction, the location of the stop, and the outcome of the stop. Such disparities in common, everyday interactions between police and the communities they serve have important implications for procedural justice and the building of police–community trust.

I wonder if they used the same algorithm to determine respectfulness the other way around?

I will say that, regardless of race, I'm often surprised at how cops talk knowing that they have a body camera on and running.

There was one video posted a week or two ago where a cop encounters a family member by their front porch and was basically challenging the guy to a fight.

There is no way a study with that many variables across a wide geography can be anywhere close to accurate.

"Respect" is too subjective.

And newsflash, cops are assholes. To just about everyone.

How can you have something as subjective as respect be a "control".
