Nations Police Departments: Are They Black, White
or Blue?: An 8 page paper discussing the true level of
integrationthat of attitudewithin the nations police forces.
In large cities, the police force is more likely to be organized
along racial lines rather than simply being blue. Such is not
the case in smaller towns, however, and the populations of all
those towns add up. Small-town America appears to have a
much more workable grasp on the issue of race, and the
combined population is much greater than are the combined
populations of the three or four largest of American cities where
police-department racism is a greater issue. In sum, the
collective police force of the nation taken as a whole can be said
to be more blue than any other color. Considering the racial
generation gap of public opinion polls, we should be able to
expect that blue hue to grow deeper and more discernible in
coming years. Bibliography lists 14 sources. KSp-race.doc
