Results for minority police recruitment
1 results foundAuthor: Bullock, Karen Title: The Police Service, Diversity and Organisational Outcomes: A Report of a Systematic Review Summary: The recruitment to police forces of Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) persons as police officers and police staff is widely regarded as a means of improving police/public relations. Guided by the acronym 'EMMIE', this Systematic Review set out to (i) examine the evidence that BME recruitment is Effective in respect of having beneficial effects on arrest rates, crime rates, and public satisfaction with police; (ii) identify the key Mechanisms through which BME recruitment is expected to render these benefits and the conditions that Moderate the effectiveness of such recruitment; and (iii) summarise information relevant to the Implementation and Economic costs of BME recruitment. Following a systematic search of the published and unpublished literature, eleven studies were identified that satisfied our inclusion criteria. Seven studies related to crime rates and arrests, and four studies related to public satisfaction. All of the studies reported research done in the USA and some were dated. The heterogeneity of the studies and the reported outcome measures precluded a meta-analysis. Based on the available evidence it is difficult to determine the effectiveness of BME recruitment either on crime or on public satisfaction but it is possible to say that the testimony of the included studies suggests that BME recruitment does not worsen arrest or crime rates or negatively influence public satisfaction with police. The included studies did not include high-quality economic evaluations of BME recruitment. The implications of our findings, and suggestions for future research, are discussed.
