Federalism and the Police: an Applied Theory of "Fiscal Attention" |
49 Arizona State Law Journal 907 (Fall, 2017) |
Policing in America has made a drastic transformation over the mid-twentieth century. Local police agencies today are more federally funded, they dress like the military, they police more federal initiatives, and the constitutional and fiscal boundaries between local police and the federal government have been blurred. At the same time, conflicts... |

Feeding the Machine: Policing, Crime Data, & Algorithms |
26 William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal 287 (December, 2017) |
Police departments are increasingly turning to big data tools to answer some familiar questions. Where will the next crime occur? Which person is likely to commit that next crime, and who will be the victim? What threat does that driver sitting in his stopped car pose? Traditionally, the police have answered these questions with a mixture of... |

Freeze, You're on Camera: Can Body Cameras Improve American Policing on the Streets and at the Borders? |
48 University of Miami Inter-American Law Review 141 (Spring, 2017) |
In the United States, recent killings of civilians by law enforcement have propelled body cameras to the forefront of solutions to the epidemic of police misconduct. Preliminary studies suggest that body cameras create a win-win situation for both the police and the public by producing a civilizing effect on all parties involved. The problem,... |

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 revolutionized access to the voting booth.

Much of the debate about race and police violence against African Americans center on a question about causation: What precisely causes police violence against African Americans?
