Abstract
Critical Race Theory, the academic and legal movement to teach racial justice, not only examines quality of life, but also addresses how the intersection of race and other identities is important to improving this quality of life. The purpose of this analysis is to address how knowledge of CRT affects attitudes towards police brutality in the United States. The research being examined is survey data collected on college age students including demographics, CRT framed questions, and attitudes towards police officers. There is currently significant data showing that race affects policing and how civilians view these encounters so analyzing the attitudes towards police officers allows for us to gauge the importance of CRT education and conversations.
