Dr. Kristina Ray, Dr. Christina Jeffrey, Kathryn Armstrong, and Lawrence Watkins’ article,
“Black American college student perspectives on disproportionate police contact: A qualitative analysis”, has been accepted for publication by The Counseling Psychologist. This two-phase CQR study involved consensual coding of 15 interviews with Black American students on their perspectives about police violence, systemic racial oppression, disproportionate police contact; resulting coping skills and survival strategies; and implications and ideas for action for psychologists, advocates, researchers, and educators. This has been a huge passion project for our team and we are really excited to share the themes from the study!
