Confronting Implicit Bias | JCCSF

Описание: With Jennifer Eberhardt, Ph.D. and SFPD Chief William Scott

When police officers rely on stereotypes instead of facts, routine encounters can escalate and even turn deadly. While explicit bias remains part of the fabric of life in the United States, elected leaders and chiefs of police have increasingly focused on implicit bias, inherently unintentional yet more pervasive. Biases – especially racial ones – influence how people frame and interpret those around them, and they can exist despite people’s best intentions. In policing, the consequences of such biases can be dire. Join us for a conversation with social psychologist Dr. Jennifer Eberhardt, one of the world’s leading experts on unconscious racial bias and the author of Biased: Uncovering the Hidden Prejudice That Shapes What We See, Think, and Do, and SFPD Chief William “Bill” Scott. They’ll discuss Dr. Eberhardt’s groundbreaking research on implicit bias and how the SFPD is addressing it in the field.
