| Summary: | This chapter reviews the psychological consequences of racialized policing for people of color over the course of their lives, organizing the review within Bronfenbrenner’s social-ecological model and emerging science on racial, legal, and racial-legal socialization. First, the chapter considers the broader social climate that criminalizes and punishes people of color, and thereby generates racialized policing (macrosystem). Then, it turns to the institution and practice of policing and how this influences the way people of color come to think about their relationships with police (exosystem). Next, the chapter examines how vicarious experiences with police shape attitudes toward police (mesosystem), and how direct experiences and personal history factors influence how people of color experience, navigate, learn, and develop in response to police discrimination (microsystem). Finally, the chapter explores the cumulative effects of racialized policing on life outcomes and the evidence of coping and resilience among people of color, ending with implications for policy and practice. |
