Implicit bias training in criminal justice still lacks rigorous outcome evaluation
Evidence
When we conduct workshops with prosecutors, criminal defense attorneys, or judges, we generally use declarative titles: Prosecuting Fairly; Judging Fairly; Defending Fairly. Yet we are aware that these are still aspirational. While we have reason to think that these workshops may have a positive impact on those who choose to utilize the strategies we share, we are aware that a rigorous evaluation of outcomes of implicit bias trainings in the criminal justice context has yet to be done. — Joseph Avery, Jim Sidanius, Joel Cooper, Gregory Davis, Amanda N., Bias in the Law, 1416
