TL;DR: I find no association between neighborhood exposure to social mobility and perceived social mobility, suggesting individuals do not derive their beliefs about these kind of perceptions from local environments, but the debate is not settled. #ECOLET

Because officers’ choose where they live, the last part of the paper exploits quasi-random variation in the turnover of officers’ neighbors. I find that White officers with a new Black neighbor stop relatively fewer Black civilians and, if they do, their stops are more “productive.”

I find that White officers living in Black neighborhoods do not stop Black civilians at a differential rate, but their Black stops are more “productive” (e.g., more likely to result in drugs found/seized during a stop).

Combining multiple administrative data, I find that White (in contrast to Black and Hispanic) officers are clustered in a few (predominantly White) neighborhoods.
