This review highlights the issue of slow violence inflicted on people of color by contemporary policing practices. The wide-ranging harms resulting from these practices have significant impacts on health, well-being, academic performance, and maintain racial and class inequalities. The authors urge researchers to study nonpolicing alternatives and adopt more critical perspectives in assessing modern policing practices.
An estimated 61.5 million Americans encounter police annually and more than one million are threatened or subjected to police use of force during these encounters. Much research exists on the efficacy for crime control of the policing practices that produce those encounters, but outside of formal consequences such as incarceration, the criminology of police harms has been slower to emerge. In this review, we describe the slow violence that contemporary policing practices disproportionately inflict on people of color. These wide-ranging harms constitute cultural trauma and shape health, well-being, academic performance, government participation, community membership, and physical space. As a result, routine policing practices help create and maintain the racial and class status quo. We close by considering the limits of popular reforms given those harms and urge researchers to take a broader approach by studying nonpolicing alternatives to public safety alongside crime control efficacy and incorporatingmore critical perspectives to build a more comprehensive assessment of modern policing practices.
