Policing for the 21st Century
Balancing Justice & Safety
Join us for a panel discussion with experts on police practices, racial profiling, and legal issues, and a special presentation by social psychologist Jack Glaser, whose primary research interest is in stereotyping, prejudice and discrimination.
Glaser studies these intergroup biases at multiple levels of analysis, from reaction time measures of implicit bias to extreme manifestations like hate crimes. He is also interested in the police practice of racial profiling, especially as it relates to the psychology of stereotyping, and the self-fulfilling effects of such stereotype-based discrimination. Another area of interest is in electoral politics and political ideology, specifically the role of emotion (as experienced and expressed) in politics.
Glaser is an associate professor and associate dean of the Goldman School of Public Policy at University of California Berkeley. He holds a Ph.D. in psychology from Yale University. In addition to teaching and conducting research, he has been involved in training California State judges in the psychology of stereotyping, prejudice and discrimination, and how they might operate implicitly, and undermine fairness, in the courtroom.
The event will be held from 7 to 9 p.m.
