Discrimination is a core problem of policing. Carbado describes Fourth Amendment free zones where the police can engage African American citizens with little limitation. Vásquez demonstrates that blurring lines between civil and criminal, federal and state immigration law exacerbates preexisting racial disparities. Lave argues that police predators are the product of an institutional reluctance to take rape complaints seriously. Chin shows why an Asian NYPD officer who killed an unarmed African American was convicted on racial grounds.
