Abstract

This research investigates the dilemma practicing social workers confront when collaborating with police in the face of ethical concerns. The study used a convergent triangulation mixed methods design. Social work students from a major research university were surveyed about their perceptions of police bias and racial violence and their perceptions about social work collaboration with police. Overall, students perceived high levels of violence and bias among police, while also largely endorsing collaboration between social work and law enforcement. Our study explores the implications of this ethical paradox for social work research, education, and practice.
