do you think there is an element of “self-fulfilling prophecy” when police officers engage in encounters with African Americans?

self fulfilling prophecy is referred to as the prediction which might directly or indirectly come true as a result of the positive feedback with respect to the belief. This is the form in which a new behavior would be evoked within people,, which might be a false conception and would be made true due to the belief.

As a result of this, there might be an error in judgement, blaming or assigning people of the form they are, which might not be true.

For example, the police might assume an American African to always being suspicious in carrying out any activity. For example, if he’s strolling around a farm he would be thought to be doing something which they haven’t even planned. They might be assumed to be stealing something from the Carl such regular blames or mis conceptions might frustrate the person so much so that they would get into the same line of action.

Thus has been observed to be seen in case of the police.
