In a new study, local researchers found that police misconduct is often a “group phenomenon” that leads to a disproportionately high number of arrests in minority communities.
, researchers found that police misconduct is often a “group phenomenon” that leads to a disproportionately high number of arrests in minority communities.
Researchers from the Northwestern Neighborhood and Network Initiative, the Institute for Policy Research, the Department of Sociology at Northwestern and the investigative journalism nonprofit Invisible Institute, have built a statistical model they believe can be used to identify other crews of officers who may be engaged in criminal behavior.
Researchers found around 160 potential crews of officers. Those officers make up less than 4% of all rank-and-file Chicago police officers, but account for a disproportionate amount of use-of-force complaints and police-involved shootings. “We know that more than 200 convictions have been overturned because of the Watts case alone,” Papachristos said. “If our results hold, we are talking about possibly thousands of Chicagoans who have been directly subjected to such cop crews — and even more that have been indirectly impacted.
