Description
Empirical analyses of whether police officers themselves enjoy gender and race equity within their agencies, however, are infrequent, as are studies of the operations of police internal disciplinary mechanisms. This is the focus of this paper, which has its roots in a 1997 decision by New York City Police Department (NYPD) Commissioner Howard Safir to establish a Disciplinary Review Task Force to study and report upon allegations that the formal disciplinary system of the NYPD was biased against black, Hispanic, and female officers. This paper is derived from the Task Force’s work, and reports that, while there are disparities among the race and gender groups, they are largely attributable to factors other than the operations of the formal disciplinary system." -- P. 1.
