129 Harvard Law Review 1318 (March, 2016) |
After decades as a divisive political touchstone, American criminal justice is now characterized by widespread, bipartisan agreement that the system is broken in significant ways.

Legitimate Community Policing: How Citizen Participation Creates a Successful and Collaborative Enterprise |
42 Human Rights 10 (2016) |
Community policing is a fiction, existing in name only. If substantive community policing were the norm across the country, if America's police officers had internalized community policing's original values, principles, and practices, the institution would not be embroiled in never-ending controversy. In fact, it's reasonable to ask whether so... |

Many Americans were shocked when, in November 2014, law enforcement agencies in Ferguson, Missouri responded to local protests with what appeared to be tanks, assault rifles, and officers dressed like soldiers. Michael Brown (a black, unarmed, eighteen-year-old preparing for college) had been shot to death by a white police officer, and it had just... |
