ABSTRACT: Black American families are aware of the precarious nature of police interactions. Black people are disproportionately killed by the police at such levels that police violence is now categorized as a public health issue. Black children and youth are not exempt from police violence and tend to be adultified or perceived as older than their biological age. In recognition of police violence, Black families engage in a context specific socialization process, commonly referred to as “The Talk” to adequately prepare their children for potential police interactions. To explore this socialization process we conducted a scoping review summarizing the existing literature to provide further insight into the content of this process, with a key focus on identifying the strategies that parents provide. The review utilizes Arksey & O’Malleys framework for scoping studies. We searched 5 databases using a literature informed search strategy, that resulted in the identification of 7736 records, of which 20 articles met the inclusion criteria. Findings of this review show that strategies used by Black parents emerged in four types: regulatory, consciousness raising, system engaged and beyond our control strategies. The strategies outlined in this review describe parental strategies that include dynamic behavioral regulation, racial consciousness education, engagement and collaboration with systems, and their reliance on faith and other-worldly protection. Implications for policy and practice call for the acknowledgement of additive labor performed by Black families, and the provision of support and services that address the harm caused by discriminate policing.
