Strengthening Relations Between Local Police and Immigrant Communities
|
|
As national pressure builds to crack down on illegal immigration, those
working at the local level know that strained relationships between
police and immigrant communities can be counterproductive to achieving
public safety goals. With their experience working to minimize
intergroup conflict and to eliminate discrimination, human rights and
human relations organizations are equipped to partner with law
enforcement officials to encourage effective working relationships
between immigrant communities and police. The paper sets out ways in
which human rights organizations can work with police departments to
address community tensions surrounding day laborer hiring sites, gang
violence, and ethnic and racial profiling. |
