The paper “Niceness as Whiteness in School Police Officers’ Perceptions of Student Arrest” addresses the “perceptions of arrest” by school resource officers, or SROs) in two school districts. Indeed, the researchers realized that it was the niceness itself that was the evidence of oppressive “Whiteness.” They used niceness as a strategy for upholding a system of Whiteness that systematically privileges White people and excludes those who fall outside of Whiteness. The evidence of niceness includes such findings as how officers work at “minimiz[ing] the negative impact of arrest by highlighting their own goodness.” It turns out that everything that parents valued in their SROs was a perpetuation of privilege, according to these researchers.
