    Racial prejudice and support by whites for police use of force : A research note

    Get PDF
    The use of force by police in a democratic society continues to be controversial. Despite the theoretical and practical importance of police use of force, little is known about the sources of public attitudes toward it. Recent research suggests that whites\u27 approval of police use of force may derive partly from racial prejudice against African Americans. In this paper we test this possibility with data from the 1990 General Social Survey and find that negative stereotypes of African Americans contribute to whites\u27 support for police use of excessive force. We also address the theoretical and pragmatic significance of our findings

    Secondary Legal Sources: A Selected Subject Bibliography of Treatises, Looseleaf Services and Form Books Fourth Edition

    Get PDF
    The fourth edition of this bibliography is a subject arrangement of selected English language treatises, looseleaf services and form books. Most all of the works listed were published in this country and all are in the collection of this law library. Our object in revising this bibliography has been to present to the law students of The University of Michigan a reasonably thorough listing of useful and current secondary sources covering dorr1estic and international Jaw. The inclusion of a work in this bibliography does not mean that the Law Library is endorsing either the author\u27s style or the substance of his work. It does mean that we believe the work to be useful in the research of our patrons. While this bibliography is by no means exhaustive in its coverage of secondary sources on any subject, it does identify most of the major works in a given area. Thus, it can best be used as a starting point for legal research. It is not, however, a substitute for the card catalog which must be consulted during any serious research effort. In selecting titles for inclusion in the bibliography and in removing titles that had been in the third Edition, we have been guided by a consideration of the currency of the material. The materials listed deal with the law in its current state. Other than indirectly, this bibliography is not designed to support retrospective research. We have indicated by use of the term current those treatises which have been kept up to date by some sort of supplementation. Obviously, depending upon the subject, texts become dated at widely different intervals. Therefore, in including or deleting titles, we have looked to changes in the law, as well as to the date of publication. We have made only one major \u27\u27structural change in this edition of the bibliography. We have taken the former subject headings civil procedure and practice and procedure and combined them in a new heading civil practice and procedure . We think that this will make it easier to find the full range of material on this subject. A final word on the content of the bibliography is in order. As in past editions, we have attempted to exclude works which are more polemical than expository. We have also excluded casebooks and popular works on the law which, while possibly helpful to laymen, would be of limited use to the law student. We have, again, not included books concerned with law reform, criticism of legal institutions or the social science aspects of law, except for those dealing with the sociology of law. Nor have we included works dealing with the law of\u27 a single region or state. Finally, we have not included reference works, such as general form books and encyclopedias, which cover a vast expanse of legal knowledge. On the other hand, listed books that deal with more than one subject are placed under all appropriate subject headings This bibliography is current as of July 1, 1980. Finally, much thanks is due to Phyllis Rosenstock for her patience, endurance, skill and good humor in typing this bibliography
