xvii, 73 p. : ill. In 2002, the Cincinnati Police Department (CPD) joined with other agencies and organizations to improve police-community relations in the city. This report focuses on the analysis of racial disparities in traffic stops in Cincinnati. The authors find no evidence of racial differences between the stops of black and those of similarly situated nonblack drivers, but some issues can exacerbate the perception of racial bias. Introduction -- Is there a department-level racial pattern in initiating vehicle stops? -- Do individual officers appear to have racial biases in their decisions to stop? -- Are there racial disparities in the outcomes of stops? -- Conclusions and implications -- Appendixes: A. Details of the propensity-score weighting approach -- B. Estimating false-discovery rates -- C. Detailed tables for post-stop outcomes -- D. Comments from the parties on the report. Greg Ridgeway.
