Phillip Atiba Goff is an African-American psychologist known for researching the relationship between race and policing in the United States.[1] He received his Ph.D. from Stanford University.[2] and his AB from Harvard University. He was appointed the inaugural Franklin A. Thomas Professor in Policing Equity at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in 2016. This is the college's first endowed professorship.

Previously, Goff was a visiting scholar at the Harvard University Kennedy School of Government and an associate professor of social psychology [3] at the University of California, Los Angeles.[4] He is also the co-founder and president of the research center/think tank Center for Policing Equity,[2] which conducts research with the aim of ensuring accountable and racially unbiased policing in the United States.[5] CPE is the host of a National Science Foundation-funded effort to collect national data on police behavior (specifically stops and use of force) called the National Justice Database.[6] The analytic framework Goff innovated as part of the NJD has been called a potential model for police data accountability nationally.[7] In 2016, a decade after it was founded, the Center relocated from UCLA to John Jay.[8][9] He was also a key figure in the founding of the National Initiative for Building Community Trust and Justice in 2014 [9] and gave testimony before the President's Task Force on 21st Century Policing.[10] In 1999, he co-founded the Oakland, California-based queer hip hop group Deep Dickollective in 1999;[11] during his time as a musician of this group, he was known as Lightskindid Philosopher or LSP.[12]
