Gosh this guy is so effortlessly good I could watch him all day. What a fantastic way to present a pretty dry and detailed look at policing. Roland is simply fantastic. Kudos to University of Austin for presenting this in the way.
There's a lot of subtle ways that police escalate an interaction with the public. That's where the violation of peoples rights come in. Police are not your friend, there is no accountability for their actions. Never bring them around your home as can harm your family and get away with it.

Roland Fryer is one of my favorite intellectuals!! He’s so intellectually honest, he found the exact opposite of what he wanted to find but he still accepted it and printed it all while taking great ridicule!!
His courage is unimaginable; its like a man who painstakingly goes in search of infidelity, finds out that he's been cheating on his wife all along AND publishes a paper explaining his motivation!
He endured more than ridicule. He endured threats to his job and career, and to his and his family's safety, even needing a police escort for awhile. He was later internally "prosecuted" on some B.S. sexual harrassment charge and was nearly fired ffom Harvard. His tormentor during this period was none other than Claudine Gay. She apparently finds Fryer to have been a harasser, but is cool with people threatening students with genocide. She's gone, thankfully, but Roland is still at Harvard. The good guys won for a change.
I grew up 22 miles east of Austin. I am thrilled to see a university that truly allows free thought established in the part of the state where I still have family living - living there now for 6 generations.
Brightest teacher: what’s the right number. How do you get better at catching people with drugs? Brightest student: how do you get better at hiding the drugs? 1:06:00
I love seeing the struggle of the, presumably, liberal students trying to wrap their head around the vehicle stop discussion. I never followed Roland Fry before but will def be keeping my eye out moving forward.
Absolutely love this. "Chicago style university, if you're not being interrupted they don't love you." Exactly three minutes in and a lady is already asking a question! Yes. We need more of this.
I studied economics in undergrad and listening to this brings so much nostalgia for those first few classes having my mind opened to the economist’s way of viewing things. Before you know it, everything’s a utility function!
Roland, thank you for your work, effort to bring awareness, your bravery, and therefore a contribution to society. After watching this video, I see a very strong need for a video on the distinction between Guns and Illegal guns and criminal behavior in and around the distinction of guns and... Illegal guns. Legal- Guns vs ill-legal guns= Difference, distinction. Not the same thing
A wonderful lecture on a very actual and interesting topic. As economist I think this is a clever and valid trial to explain complex correlations in society and their perception in science, journalism and politics.
As prior law enforcement this was excellent conversation with great perspectives. Between how we’re trained, the tools he use everyday, and taboo of mental health (in law enforcement uniquely) there’s a lot that can be talked about and improved upon.
Excellent discussion. This is how educators and scientists should be. Seeking the actual answer instead of trying prove political dogma. Thank you for taking the time to produce and publish this. It blessed my morning.
THIS IS SOOOOO refreshing, and a much more productive way to have these conversations and discuss potential solutions to discrimination and bias concerns than the insanity that's been consuming media, politics, and DEI hypotheses. Can we please replace the latter mentioned across America with this style of education as our norm? Thank you in advance.
@@kingsleyoji649 Numerous hypothesis tested, peer-reviewed and published studies from the social sciences. You've most likely read none of these studies and have succumbed to propaganda, which is being convinced without appealing to reason.
Great discussion. I wish they would have framed it as “illegal guns” in cars. In most states and with a LICENSE to carry the police should have no problem with my legal gun(s). Guns aren’t bad. Illegal gun owners are!
There is no such thing as an illegal gun. In the US you have the 2nd amendment no? A license would imply that it would be a right, which could be taken from you.
This reminds me of a story a co-worker told me. When he lived in Alabama he once drove a black co-worker home in the middle of the day so he could get something he needed for work. My co-worker is white and police approached him, asking him what business he had in the neighbourhood, which was predominantly black. He explained things and all was well, though the police added that they found that most white people who go into that neighbourhood are trying to buy drugs. The one white person the police saw, they questioned, because they'd historically found a high probability of discovering criminal behaviour. One can say this is racial profiling, but when it frequently returns positively, it becomes quite rational and warranted.
This content is incredible. One thing that I think is understated here. The model he developed for the payoff of doing crime (cost benefit analysis) is likely brilliant, but it assumes doing crime as a single discrete event. When looked at would you roll a 95% heads and 5% tails you'd maybe take your chances once. However, if you roll that dice 100 times you'd expect 5 losses. Many don't understand the cumulative probability across many engagements increases towards 100%. They underweight their costs mentally. Brilliant content.
Roland Fryer and Michael Shellenberger need to talk. Michael presented the incarceration rate graph on top of the institutionalization rate. Mentally ill people that were institutionalized were released to the streets and the incarceration rate increased.
This is a really good discussion and I'm enjoying it immensely. It's interesting to see that Some of the students there are struggling with the idea or stereotypes. I think they forget that stereotypes create themselves. Mostly the police go to where the crime is they don't invent the stereotype and then go and have a look. Stereotypes happen because of the frequency of whatever it is that typifies that stereotype occurs.
Stereotyping does allow some crime to go unnoticed, though. Criminals know about stereotyping; that's why they try to use it to their advantage whenever possible. I.e. have your drugs transported by an older white woman or by a seven year old child rather than a 25 year old male of any race.
@@Aircalibur Yes that is true. But Stereotyping does produce better results overall. Any new traits will ultimately become stereotypes if they happen often enough.
@@scatton61"But Stereotyping does produce better results overall." I think this is an interesting point in the discussion, too. I believe his bias results in use of force... But i want to ask: If an officer knows that he's stopping twice as many blacks for guns/ drugs/ whatever, and knows he's twice as likely to have to shoot a black suspect, would that result in a higher propensity to start force sooner to show, 'I'm in charge, I'm ready for you if you try anything'? That is, bias resulting from stereotypes that stem from real world disparities.
Wow, this is so insightful and productive! Disparity in actions/outcomes comes with diversity and differences in ideas, and that is OK. Trying to equalize outcomes without proving bias is someone's political agenda at taking away people's agency
Why crime rate is going down while incarceration goes up? As we put criminals away, there are lesser and lesser criminals, therefore, we have lesser crimes.
Did anyone else notice the water bottles change or is it me?😂Great Lecture looking forward to more.Had to watch certain parts a few times to grasp them but thats usually a good indicator of new useful information 😅
Great video! One note on the editing, it would be great if when Dr. Fryer is reading off a slide if you could put the slide on the screen so we can read along and see the graphs.
There should be a mandatory criminal justice course in all high schools with particular emphasis on the 4th amendment and rules of arrest. In the city I patrolled, Black people weren’t necessarily committing more crimes, but they were wayyyyy more likely to refuse to stop, yell, and curse, which necessarily resulted in a use of force to make the arrest. It’s a culture of absolute disdain for laws and those who enforce them, similar to the typically White sovereign citizen culture.
The answer Roland provides to the naïve (yet interesting) question around 18:45 mins is lucid and powerful. This sort of question has been asked by the general public to economists for many years... with generally poor answers. Roland bottomed that one down fantastically.
The number one cause of poverty in the USA is single parenthood. Some of the social welfare programs in the USA... 1) Sec. 8 housing. 2) Title XX child care 3) Food stamps 4) Food banks 5) Clothing banks 6) Medicaid- Medicare 7) Free schooling-where kids can get breakfast and lunch. In 1960, the black American single parenthood rate was about 20%. Now it is 75%. Between 1964 and now, 22-24 trillion dollars have been used in the social welfare programs. The poverty rate has moved from 17-18% to 13-14%.
I enjoyed this lecture very much. Near the end when he's discussing the disparity in level of force by police against blacks (+20% I think) I didn't hear any stats or discussions about provocation of the police by the people being stopped. Any resistance to the lawful authority of the cop to make the stop/search will be met by greater force. I don't think it's biased to point out that if blacks give police greater cause to use force then it could explain the disparity. Like anyone, repeated negative experience will put more of a hair trigger on the cops response as well. That's a long-winded way of saying, stop running/resisting and the deaths and use of force goes down.
Roland Fryer , WARRIOR ! We need your insights and wisdom. Why arnt people throwing money at the educational system you developed with Joe Canada , that raised inner city kids grades to national competative leval .
I just find it frustrating that we look at this problem seemingly in reverse. We observe and judge the enforcement while ignoring those who are committing the crime. It feels like an increase in incarceration is seen as a failure of law enforcement and evidence of bias. I would be more likely to believe that the bias would exist in the people who commit the crime if perpetrators seem to choose crime similar to those their peers do.
54:19 this is an excellent point. I wish more people would set aside their gut "that's racist" reaction and see this. I would love to have a look at why this is a reality though?
One thing I saw addressed, and Roland said it was difficult to find the data for..."resisting" or otherwise coming off as threatening (eg attempting to flee in a vehicle can present a public danger)...etc etc. Those are the concepts that I'm not sure if were considered.. I see a lot of the videos where the people who do resist or attempt to flee, or otherwise escalate, often drastically, a great many have prior convictions and know they've been caught 'rollin dirty', if you will. Prior convictions, especially if this encounter is a "third strike" or if they're violating probation... I know he said he did reveal bias, ala "I couldn't explain away that last ~20%"(paraphrased), but having not gone over some of that in the video, I don't know if such things had been factored in or thought of. Prior convictions could be bit of a proxy for some of that. Surely not all, I'm just curious if it was brought up. I know that may have been answered, had there been time to go over it all in this seminar. Otherwise, very helpful framing on a lot of stuff that was put into layman's terms enough to grasp, I was riveted for most of the video.
The reason crime did not go up but more people went to prison is because the government started charging multiple people in one crime - calling it gang crime - and they started sending people to prison for crimes that wouldn't normally cause you a prison bid.
When do we discuss the truth about high per capita crime rates in certain communities and a complete lack of accountability as well as scapegoating anyone from police to white people to capitalism.
I think it would be fantastic if Roland were to be able to contribute to creating AI that would support a police department. The concern with AI is that AI takes on the biases of the people creating it so even more important would be to have people who are Aware of their biases and able to stow it like Roland.
Now, use body cam footage to add to your data, & see how interactions go sideways with attitude, aggression, potential to flee/ fight! You will find the appropriate answer!
Roland Fryer is the new Thomas Sowell and these young people are blessed to hear his teachings.
Truth in teaching is extremely rare and has been for decades.
I don't know if he's the new Thomas Sowell but if he continues in the right direction as much integrity as he has that's the inevitable end.

I came for a discussion of race and crime. I came out also learning about finance, mortgages and IRR and race. How does this man know so much?
The number one cause of poverty in the USA is single parenthood.
Some of the social welfare programs in the USA...
1) Sec. 8 housing.
2) Title XX child care
3) Food stamps
4) Food banks
5) Clothing banks
6) Medicaid- Medicare
7) Free schooling-where kids can get breakfast and lunch.
In 1960, the black American single parenthood rate was about 20%. Now it is 75%.
Between 1964 and now, 22-24 trillion dollars have been used in the social welfare programs. The poverty rate has moved from 17-18% to 13-14%.
I would love to see the numbers on all of these metrics on black vs white officers.

I see a lot of the videos where the people who do resist or attempt to flee, or otherwise escalate, often drastically, a great many have prior convictions and know they've been caught 'rollin dirty', if you will.
Prior convictions, especially if this encounter is a "third strike" or if they're violating probation...
I know he said he did reveal bias, ala "I couldn't explain away that last ~20%"(paraphrased), but having not gone over some of that in the video, I don't know if such things had been factored in or thought of. Prior convictions could be bit of a proxy for some of that. Surely not all, I'm just curious if it was brought up.
I know that may have been answered, had there been time to go over it all in this seminar.
Otherwise, very helpful framing on a lot of stuff that was put into layman's terms enough to grasp, I was riveted for most of the video.
Hopefully University of Austin can save Austin from itself.
Awesome!!
"Was there a big innovation in 1975 that we know of?" - The PC was invented in 1974
That’s exactly what I thought.
And that has what to do with felony crimes? Another stupid comment from someone trying to be smart
absolutely. No possible connection. You got me. @@Jativ1989
@Jativ1989 the comments, up until yours, were quite refreshing. No need for you to be rude and call names.
@@maladyperu the one comment? Lol ur dumb
The reason crime did not go up but more people went to prison is because the government started charging multiple people in one crime - calling it gang crime - and they started sending people to prison for crimes that wouldn't normally cause you a prison bid.
Great man!!
Send ALL OF US the slides Roland!
Very engaging lecture!
When do we discuss the truth about high per capita crime rates in certain communities and a complete lack of accountability as well as scapegoating anyone from police to white people to capitalism.
I think it would be fantastic if Roland were to be able to contribute to creating AI that would support a police department. The concern with AI is that AI takes on the biases of the people creating it so even more important would be to have people who are Aware of their biases and able to stow it like Roland.
Now, use body cam footage to add to your data, & see how interactions go sideways with attitude, aggression, potential to flee/ fight! You will find the appropriate answer!
Great professor.
This is the future of the university.
