摘要 近年来，关于隐性偏见的讨论、争论和研究激增。隐性偏见已成为种族偏见的首选形式，许多学者、从业者和政策制定者认为这是重要且及时的研究（Eberhardt 等人，2004 年；Levinson 和 Smith，2017 年）。解决警务中隐性种族偏见的干预措施特别受欢迎（Fridell 2008）。可以说，打击隐性种族偏见本身就是保护公民权利的一种工具。本文探讨了隐性偏见范式的出现，作为解决司法系统结果中种族偏见的一种方法。第一部分概述了隐性偏见，包括如何定义它、如何衡量它以及它如何影响司法系统。第二部分探讨“隐性偏见”一词。本节将隐性偏见作为一个社会问题进行评估，并考虑该标签是否阐明或掩盖了刑事司法系统中种族偏见的现实。讨论考虑“隐性偏见”是否被视为处理种族偏见更具吸引力的方法，因为它不会归咎于种族。第三部分考虑了隐性偏见和显性偏见之间关系的轮廓。讨论强调了两种形式的种族偏见之间的相互关联。隐性偏见是种族紧缩的信号吗？最后一部分考虑如何将小学和中学教育用作解决隐性种族偏见的积极策略。
Abstract In recent years, there has been a surge of discussion, debate, and research on the topic of implicit bias. Implicit bias has become the go-to form of racial bias that many academics, practitioners, and policy makers have identified as important and timely to study (Eberhardt et al., 2004; Levinson and Smith, 2017). Interventions to address implicit racial bias in policing have been particularly popular (Fridell 2008). Arguably, combatting implicit racial bias presents itself as a tool for protecting civil rights. This essay examines the emergence of the implicit bias paradigm as a way to address racial bias in justice system outcomes. The first part provides an overview of implicit bias, including how it is defined, how it is measured, and how it impacts the justice system. The second part examines the term “implicit bias.” This section assesses implicit bias as a social problem and considers whether the label illuminates or obscures the reality of racial bias in the criminal justice system. The discussion considers whether “implicit bias” is viewed as a more appealing approach for dealing with racial bias because it does not assign racial blame. The third part considers the contours of the relationship between implicit bias and explicit bias. The discussion highlights the interconnectedness between the two forms of racial bias. Is the implicit bias approach a signal of racial retrenchment? The final section considers how elementary and secondary education could be used as a proactive strategy for addressing implicit racial bias.
