Broken Windows or Broken Badges?: Can Reform Improve Policing?

This is the second event in the "From Moment to Movement" Series: Conversations on Race in America in collaboration with Howard University. Protect and serve. That's the traditional role of the police, and yet events over the past few months have forced communities across the country to ask: Who, exactly, are they protecting and serving? Recently, the increasing reports of bias, militarization and excessive use of force against communities of color spurred President Obama to appoint a Police Task Force to recommend innovative ways to rebuild public trust and simultaneously reduce crime. On March 2, the task force recommendations were released. Do they include ideas that could create real change or will they amount to little more than a regurgitation of the failed "solutions" of the past? What has or can be done at the local and federal level to improve policing? Should the task of improvement rest solely in the hands of the local community? Join New America in collaboration with Howard University for the second event in the “From Moment to Movement” series to discuss the feasibility of the President’s Police Task Force recommendations and the past, present and future of policing.
