How do you measure justice?
Center for Policing Equity can measure bias in policing. That means we can stop it.
1 in 5 Americans interacts with law enforcement yearly. Of those encounters, 1 million result in use of force. And if you’re Black, you are 2-4 times more likely to have force used than if you are White.
Reform can work. Working directly with police to measure behaviors and revise policies results in fewer people killed, and fewer people in jail.
17%
A single suspension in elementary school decreases the likelihood that a student will graduate by 17%.
25%
Our partners have seen an average of 25% fewer arrests, 33% fewer force incidents, and 13% fewer officer-related injuries.
46%
Leveraging data, Minneapolis police reduced use of force incidents by 46% in 2018 alone.
Our outcomes can be no less than fewer people killed; fewer people in jail.
