Discrimination in city police departments

Abstract

Looks at the background and history of the US police in relation to the 14th Amendment and the Civil Rights Act 1964. Outlines the dilemma faced by the police and lists some common forms of discrimination. Looks at the trends in the type of people claiming discrimination and concludes that it depends on area but the tide is turning towards the white male who is passed over to promote minorities.
