“…As historically White spaces with legacies of enforcing racially motivated oppressive laws, police agencies may exhibit prejudice and negative stereotypes of minorities (Balto, 2019; Lerman & Weaver, 2014; Shoub, 2022; Wilkins & Williams, 2008). In an occupational environment marked by a shared sense of danger and uncertainty, police subculture encourages officers to perceive minority citizens as threats, leading to an aggressive “us” against “them” policing style that encourages undignified treatment of minority citizens (Ingram et al., 2018; Legewie & Fagan, 2016; Shoub, 2022; Sierra‐Arévalo, 2019, 2021; Stuart, 2016). Not only will personal experience with negative interactions affect citizens’ views of the police, but vicarious experience through media exposure and reports by one's social contacts also can increase legal cynicism and unwillingness to engage with police, especially in minority communities marked by a history of police misconduct and discrimination (Desmond et al., 2016; Kirk & Papachristos, 2011; Nagin & Telep, 2020).…”

As a policy response to historically strained police-minority community relations, police diversification is hoped to improve policing outcomes in minority communities. An improved policecommunity relationship may be expected to lead to increased citizen cooperation in crime investigations and therefore be beneficial for crime clearance, but there are different perspectives on the nature of this link. We examined several measures of Black police representation (Black officer percentage, Black racial congruence between the police force and the jurisdiction's population, and presence of Black police chief or head) and their relationships with arrest clearance of National Incident-Based Reporting System aggravated assault incidents involving Black victims in 205 agencies. We also explored similar Hispanic police

“…To illustrate, I point to Forrest Stuart's (2016) startling discovery during field work that would later inform his award-winning book Down, Out, and Under Arrest: Policing and Everyday Life in Skid Row. A mixed-race graduate student with light brown complexion, he wore clothing that befitted his social strata-"butt hugging jeans" and vintage Nikes (that is, track sneakers, not Air Jordans or any other recognizable basketball sneaker)-and carried a crossword puzzle to hide his notetaking while selling his wares among street vendors in one of the poorest communities in the country.…”

“…This pattern stems from two likely sources. First, as research on the collateral consequences of policing and state surveillance control routinely find, disadvantaged populations, such as affordable housing residents, routinely adopt and reproduce the social control practices and moral hierarchies of the state in their daily attempts to avoid unnecessary punishment and humiliation (Stuart, 2016). Second, affordable housing residents are exposed to the highest level of crime and victimisation, which concentrate in and around subsidised housing complexes.…”

Few urban phenomena command as much attention as displacement. Scholars continue to refine conceptualisations of displacement to more effectively capture its diversity in forms, scales and temporalities. Recent research advocates a more inclusive conceptualisation, attuned to the processes of ‘un-homing’ – that is, the more subtle, ‘non-catastrophic’ forms of ‘slow violence’ that rupture residents’ phenomenological attachments to place and home. Advocates of the un-homing approach call on researchers to develop the data and analytical frameworks necessary for capturing the perceptions and lived experiences of displacement from the perspective of longtime residents. This article develops one such analytical framework, which we refer to as displacement frames. Building on the conceptual tools of cultural sociology, displacement frames are the evaluative schema through which residents make sense of, and act towards, the slow violence and micro-events of un-homing. Drawing on 32 interviews with long-time Black residents in San Francisco’s rapidly gentrifying Bayview Hunters Point neighbourhood, we identify three primary displacement frames: (1) displacement-by-design, (2) displacement-as-predation and (3) displacing-the-problem. As a product of residents’ historical experiences, networks and housing tenure, these frames simplify complex (and often ambiguous) experiences into a coherent narrative about the primary causes, conditions and consequences of displacement. In turn, displacement frames influence how and to what extent residents attempt to resist, prevent or perhaps even accept and support local displacement.
