Résumé
The utility, oversight and impacts of police stops are important topics in countries such as the U.S., U.K. and Canada in part because of high profile cases involving excessive police violence, but also in response to numerous reports showing discriminatory policing practices. A police stop is defined as an intervention by a police officer that led to the identification of an individual or to obtaining their information, without the incident leading to a sanction (fine, charge or arrest), or simply as a police-initiated stop-search/frisk whether or not it led to a sanction. Police stops can arise from three separate processes: a citizen complaint, an ongoing police investigation, or as the result of a police-initiated discretionary stop. Research demonstrates that police stops, along with other “officer-initiated” contacts, can have negative effects on the mental and physical health of those exposed to them, as well as on their trust in and wider relationships with police.
