Racial bias in criminal news in the United States
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Racial biases are a form of implicit bias, which refers to the attitudes or stereotypes that affect an individual's understanding, actions, and decisions in an unconscious manner.[1] These biases, which encompass unfavorable assessments, are often activated involuntarily and without the awareness or intentional control of the individual. Residing deep in the subconscious, these biases are different from known biases that individuals may choose to conceal for the purposes of social and/or political correctness.[2][note 1] Police officers have implicit bias, regardless of their ethnicity.[3] Racial bias in criminal news reporting in the United States is a manifestation of this bias.
