Overview:
This is 90-minute recording of a webinar held on August 10, 2020.
In recent months, we have seen an extraordinary number of people take to the streets to protest police violence and systemic racism. This webinar will focus on police violence as a public health issue, a framework that allows us to view police violence in a broader societal perspective. We will discuss basic measures of police violence across populations and limitations of the existing data. De-funding and abolition will be discussed as possible strategies to reduce police violence.
