An unequal distribution of cases against members of different ethnic groups characterizes the use of force by police officers against citizens in Canada. For instance, in Peel municipality, regional police use of force against Black people is 3.2 times higher than for other population groups (Balintec, 2022, p. 1). This data indicates a tendency of police officers to associate crime with members of certain ethnic groups. Furthermore, the statistics show a significant imbalance in the use of force toward Black people compared to other groups, given the percentage of members of that group (Balintec, 2022, p. 11). At the same time, such an imbalance is not as pronounced for members of ethnic groups other than Caucasians. Thus, police officers tend to be biased against Black people, despite the gradual decrease in such statistics compared to previous years. In addition to the direct use of physical force, certain groups of people succumb to more frequent police interventi
ons, such as inspections, for no objective reason. According to statistical research, the percentage of Blacks, Arabs, East Asians, and Indigenous people who are subjected to unreasonable police checks is 2-3 times higher compared to Caucasians (Giwa et al., 2020, p. 226). Thus, the practice of inappropriate application of police force includes various methods that apply disproportionately to members of ethnic minorities. This disproportion illustrates the tendency of the Canadian police to consider Caucasians to be less inclined to commit crimes, which means that this group is significantly less prone to inspections. Considering the lack of a rational basis and the intolerant nature of the issue, it is a risk factor for police misconduct for a substantial segment of the Canadian population. In general, the Ontario statistics show a significant disproportion in the use of police powers concerning predominantly ethnic minorities, which is an expression of implicit bias.
