“…For example, to avoid over-policing of racially diverse communities, implicit bias training for police officers is becoming more common (James, 2018). While little research has been conducted to evaluate the impact of such trainings on the behaviors of law enforcement, there appears to be potential for such training to impart recognition among participants of the importance of neutral, fair, and unbiased policing (James, 2018; Madon et al, 2017). Implicit bias training could therefore also be applied in MHC settings to promote equitable application of incentives and sanctions, which, as this study demonstrates, are related to participant satisfaction and program efficacy.…”

Little is known about how mental health court (MHC) experiences (including satisfaction and sanctioning, incentivizing, and life change events) differ by race and how this variation affects recidivism among MHC participants. This study examined how MHC experiences and recidivism differ between White ( n = 170) and Black ( n = 132) participants from four different MHCs in the United Sates. Negative binomial regression models, conducted separately for the two groups, indicated that life changes were associated with decreased arrests and that court sanctions were associated with increased number of arrests for both White and Black participants. Higher program satisfaction was positively associated with recidivism among Black participants only. To provide equitable services for people convicted of a crime with mental illness, professionals should acknowledge racial variation in the experiences of MHC participants (both within the MHC and the communities in which they are situated) and how these experiences relate to recidivism.

“…The issues brought up by SJW vary, but their main concern is usually about social problems plaguing a country, like equality of gender rights (Gundy, 2014), minority issues (Haller et al, 2018;Madon et al, 2017), and human rights (Craig, 2012). The above problems are very closely related to the sentimentalism of moralism that was initiated by David Hume.…”

<p>Social justice warrior (SJW) is a pejorative term for individuals who fight for equality, environment, and gender. Because their progressive morals radically differ from the predominant values, the so-called social justice warriors spark controversies. This study aimed to describe netizens’ opinions about SJW and describe the dynamics of conflict or support in more detail. Text mining and opinion coding were used to elicit research data. The opinions that we gathered were analyzed in 2 stages: sentiment analysis and content analysis. The results of sentiment analysis are negative (445), neutral (86), and positive (90). Content analysis of the negative opinions showed the characteristics of sarcastic, rude, critical, and contemptuous (mocking/disrespecting). The style of positive sentiments (comments congruent with the phenomena) is divided into supportive, empathic, and motivational opinions. Negative opinions are more dominant because of netizens’ self-acceptance, the effects of informal social control in cyberspace, SJW’s presumed social non-compliance, and doubts of objectivity. Positive opinions can be explained by criticism of social contract theory, namely the demand to be more supportive of minority groups, sensitivity, and empathy (the ability to feel other groups' social conditions and environmental conditions).</p>

“…Interest in studying police–citizen relations is growing, and more focus is being drawn to ethnic minorities’ perceptions of the public police. Prior research has highlighted intensive, disproportionate policing of ethnic minorities and subsequent negative relations and low trust among them and the police (Feinstein, 2015; Fine et al, 2003; Flacks, 2018; Keskinen et al, 2018; Madon et al, 2017; Murphy & Mazerolle, 2018; Van Craen, 2012; Wästerfors & Burcar, 2019). There is, however, an urgent need to pay more attention to ethnic minorities’ perceptions of security agents because recent years have witnessed a global growth in the private security sector.…”

Ethnic Minority Youths’ Encounters With Private Security Guards: Unwelcome in the City Space

An increasing amount of literature is suggesting that ethnic minorities perceive their relations with the police as negative and procedurally unjust. There is, however, a distinctive lack of research on the relations between ethnic minorities and private security agents. This study uses the qualitative interviews of 30 ethnic minority youths living in Finland to explore their interactions with security guards. The findings suggest that perceptions of discrimination, suspicion, being moved on, and exclusion from city space were common. The study advances the theorizations of the changes in policing and procedural justice and incorporates these into the discussions on policing the city space. It argues that net-widening of policing means that city spaces are becoming more unwelcoming for ethnic minority youths in particular, limiting their opportunities to use city spaces.
