Résumé

"The data in this report are from a survey in which U.S. residents were asked about their contacts with police and what police did during those contacts. Among other things, the report documents the percentage of U.S. residents who were pulled over in a traffic stop, and the percentage who were ticketed or searched or arrested. In some cases, such percentages were found to differ between males and females, between older and younger residents, and between the different races. For example, blacks were more likely than whites to be searched during a traffic stop. However, the apparent disparities documented in this report do not constitute proof that police treat people differently along demographic lines. Any of these disparities might be explained by countless other factors and circumstances that were not taken into account in the analysis."--Page 5.
