Drawing on script theory and related research from cognitive social psychology, this paper suggests that police may develop unconscious, cognitive schemas that make them more likely to be suspicious of population subgroups that they repeatedly encounter in street-level situations involving crime and violence. Drawing on more than 66,000 traffic stop records from the Miami-Dade County Police Department, this article presents an initial test of this theory using gender as the principal variable of interest. Police were found to be significantly more suspicious of men than of women in traffic-stop encounters, and suspicion was strongly associated with the decision to arrest. Consistent with the specified theory, suspicion had a modest, attenuating affect on the relationship between gender and arrest. However, gender remained a statistically significant predictor of arrest even after controlling for suspicion, suggesting that other factors associated with gender continue to operate and drive police decision-making. |
