SUMMARY - Bias in Policing and Prosecution

A police officer decides which car to pull over on a highway where everyone is speeding. A prosecutor decides which cases merit the harshest charges and which deserve diversion programs. A detective decides which neighborhood to patrol intensively and which complaints to prioritize. These discretionary decisions, made thousands of times daily, shape who enters the justice system and how they are treated within it.
