What does the research say about how we can reform police departments across the US?  With protests going around the US and the world, Jeremiah hosts a panel of economists specializing in research on crime and policing to talk about how to reform the police.  Jennifer Doleac, Jamein Cunningham and Bocar Ba share insights from their research and experience - What impacts do protests actually have? Which strategies should activists pursue?  Should we worry about a 'backlash effect'? Where do we need more research and better data? The panel discusses all these topics and more, trying to understand how we build a better police force.
