By tracing patterns of police engagement and inattention, the analysis reveals how racial privilege shapes institutional responses to potential threats. The discussion situates this case within the broader racialized dynamics of policing in Nova Scotia, particularly in relation to the Black Nova Scotian community.
Dr. Samuels-Wortley is an Associate Professor and Canada Research Chair in Systemic Racism, Technology, and Criminal Justice in the Department of Criminology and Justice at Ontario Tech University.
