In this forum, we’ll be talking about policing reform in light of last summer’s movements on racial disparities in three different options: (1) Increase accountability: we should rethink the ways police officers are hired, trained and disciplined to make sure they enforce the law sensibly and fairly; (2) Confront persistent racial discrimination in policing: dealing with racial discrimination and bias is key or else abusive policing will continue; (3) De-escalate to create new responses to nonviolent problems: provide programs and services to address social ills and nonviolent crime to lessen the burden on police departments.
