Abstract:
Amidst ongoing police violence in the United States, strained relations persist between individuals from marginalised ethnoracial communities and law enforcement, necessitating urgent action. Targeted U.S. police training programmes can address ethnoracial bias and improve interactions and community relations with police. Our review of existing research, following PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines, identified six studies (three youth-specific studies, three adult-specific studies) on interventions to enhance police relations and promote ethnoracial equities in U.S. policing practices. We used SIGN guidelines to evaluate internal validity and the overall assessment of the selected literature. Evidence supports the use of ethnoracial bias awareness training for U.S. officers, which may lead to better rapport with individuals from marginalised ethnoracial communities in the future. We aim to aid future research and develop training to rectify inequitable treatment of individuals from historically oppressed ethnoracially marginalised communities by policing personnel. .
