Prosecutors are least welcomed in communities with racial compositions unlike their own

Evidence

Prosecutors can better address community safety needs by identifying problems and creating the partnerships among government, philanthropic, and community forces to address them. Community prosecution means going to the places where prosecutors are probably least welcomed. Often these are places where the racial compositions of the community are vastly different from that of prosecutors. — Joseph Avery, Jim Sidanius, Joel Cooper, Gregory Davis, Amanda N., Bias in the Law, 614
