How to have police reform and lower crime rates, too

KERA's Think

After the murder of George Floyd at the hands of police, there were ample calls for reckoning in law enforcement. Neil Gross, professor of sociology at Colby College, is a former patrol officer in the police department in Berkeley, California. He joins host Krys Boyd to discuss how three police departments have taken on reform efforts, trying to change police culture from the inside to view justice from a new lens. His book is “Walk the Walk: How Three Police Chiefs Defied the Odds and Changed Cop Culture.”
