Frank Baumgartner, a political science professor at UNC Chapel Hill, discusses his groundbreaking research in 'Suspect Citizens,' which analyzes 20 million traffic stops to reveal unsettling racial disparities in policing. He sheds light on how the landmark case Terry v. Ohio has exacerbated these issues, especially for young men of color. Baumgartner emphasizes the role of political representation in mitigating bias and highlights successful reform efforts in Fayetteville, North Carolina, that foster community trust and equitable policing.
