Reinventing American Policing |
46 Crime and Justice 339 (2017) |
Two principles should form the bedrock for effective policing in a democratic society. The first is that crimes averted, not arrests made, should be the primary metric for judging police effectiveness.

Searching for the Appropriate Standard: Stops, Seizure, and the Reasonable Person's Willingness to Walk Away from the Police |

Although courts must set a standard for when a person has been seized by an officer, few real-world studies exist regarding when individuals feel truly free to disregard the police. In addition,... |
