San Francisco Police Stop Publicizing Mugshots To Reduce Stereotyping

... [+]

Sunday, May 31, 2020, the third day of Bay Area unrest over the George Floyd killing in Minneapolis.

Mugshots, or booking photos, are made when someone is arrested and often are made public before it is determined if the person will be prosecuted.as saying “black and brown people in disadvantaged communities,” were more likely to have their photos publicized than people in more affluent neighborhoods.

Police departments are not alone in expressing concern that wide distribution of mugshots helps perpetuate stereotypes: journalism think-tanknoted that several newspapers have stopped running “galleries” of mugshots as they reevaluate their crime coverage. While some newsrooms have stopped displaying mugshot galleries, many say they still will use mugshots in crime stories, Poynter said.“We’ve come to realize that without context, the galleries have little journalistic value and may have reinforced negative stereotypes.”Some websites post photos of mug shots and charge a fee to those who try to get the photos taken down.

Isn’t that what we want? More transparency? They constantly smudge and lie about homeless and drug addict crimes and now this. How’s the public going to fix communities when you won’t allow them do identify the ones causing crimes.

Oh my God. We don't what people to know when black folks commit crimes? Are you completely stupid? Just show the white folks then. We'll figure it out.

I thought that mugshots were provided of all people charged, regardless of race.

I don't know how this helps the Police do their jobs... I mean, that thing they're sworn to do.
