Jennifer Eberhardt

Jennifer Eberhardt will write articles drawing on police body-worn camera footage to examine police interactions with the public during traffic stops. Using large language models and related processing tools, Eberhardt will compare how language used by police varies during traffic stops in areas with and without a history of redlining. Additionally, she will investigate the effectiveness of a statewide intervention in California, which requires officers to state the reason for a vehicle stop before questioning drivers as well as the effectiveness of trainings on the dangers of implicit bias and the importance of interacting with the public in ways that are procedurally just.
