If the police were mobilized around the concept of fighting crime, one might expect them to be deployed over their jurisdiction based on the distribution of officially reported crime. Instead, research on the allocation of police resources in the southwestern United States suggests that the percentage of African Americans in a neighborhood is a better predictor of the deployment of police officers than the crime rate or other indicators of disorder (Holmes, Smith, Freng & Munoz, 2008). Research findings consistently support the minority group threat hypothesis. In essay form, in APA format including ALL appropriate in text citations in your work and Matching references at the end, discuss this hypothesis and do you feel it is existence in the current era of law enforcement? The community where you live? Why or why not? DO you feel it would be different if the research was conducted in a different geographical area of the United States? Why or Why Not?
