This chapter analyzes the relationship between understudied populations and the police by discussing the relative lack of research on Latinos and policing. This dearth of research is surprising given that Latinos have become the largest racial/ethnic minority group in the United States. The chapter outlines areas for study including the impact of raids on businesses in search of “illegal” immigrants; the potential roles of concentrated disadvantage, legal cynicism, history, culture, demography, and intraethnic variation on police–Latino interactions; and, harking to the Los Angeles “zoot suit” riots of 1943, whether there has been evidence of differential enforcement of the law across major categories of race and ethnicity.
