What do legal scholars have to say about the broken parts of our systems?
With grave racial disparities in the COVID-19 pandemic and a global spotlight on race and policing in the United States, America’s civil unrest has reached new levels of mobilization. In its wake, calls have shifted from “reform the police” to “defund police” and “redesign public safety.” As we welcome this shift in mindset, legal scholars are seeking to answer the question: “What are our best strategies toward redesigning, funding, and implementing a new public safety model?”
