Abstract

Exponential growth in order maintenance policing and associated misdemeanor sanctions have led to disproportionate consequences for people of color. Using data from qualitative interviews with individuals in the metropolitan St. Louis, Missouri, region, the current study documents the racialized and monetized nature of police contact. This work extends extant scholarship by considering how minor contact with the police shapes individual avoidance behaviors and activity spaces, places where people work and live. We consider how the combination of monetary sanctions, warrants, incarceration, and overpolicing in the region affects avoidance behaviors, particularly for people of color. Our findings suggest that the frequently unpredictable nature of police contacts and the parochial and often profit-focused structure of policing organizations in the region leads individuals to modify the ways in which they move through the region and, for some, to isolate. Narratives reflect the need for constant calibration of behaviors and decisions, as well as the legacy that police contact and monetary sanctions can have on everyday routines.

与警察的不可预测和货币化接触:种族、回避行为和修改的活动空间
治安维持和相关轻罪制裁呈指数级增长,给有色人种带来了不成比例的后果。目前的研究使用了对密苏里州圣路易斯大都市地区个人的定性采访数据,记录了警察接触的种族化和货币化性质。这项工作通过考虑与警察的轻微接触如何塑造个人的回避行为和活动空间,即人们工作和生活的地方,扩展了现有的学术。我们考虑了该地区货币制裁、逮捕令、监禁和过度监管的结合如何影响回避行为,尤其是有色人种的回避行为。我们的研究结果表明,警察接触的不可预测性以及该地区警务组织的狭隘和往往以利润为中心的结构,导致个人改变了他们在该地区的行动方式,对一些人来说,导致了孤立。叙述反映了不断调整行为和决策的必要性,以及警方接触和金钱制裁对日常生活的影响。
