Policing Racism – Confronting (structural) racism in the police force
Symposium on racism in the police force
From right-wing chat groups to racial profiling – a large number of racist incidents in the police force have become public in recent years. Scientific research also shows that racist and anti-democratic attitudes are widespread within the police force, even beyond these scandalized incidents. Studies make it clear that both working conditions and group dynamics as well as the institutional culture as such can promote the emergence of racist attitudes in the police force.
With our symposium “Policing Racism – Confronting (Structural) Racism in the Police”, we want to take a closer look at the police as an institution and shed light on official structures, rules, routines and the role of politics. It will consist of a keynote speech and a panel discussion and will also offer space for exchange and networking.
The event is aimed at a specialist audience from educational practice, science and research, counseling centers for those affected and employees from security authorities in various areas of responsibility.
Participation is free of charge. Lunch will be provided.
Application deadline: November 6, 2024
