Urban Policing: What's underlying the tension between black communities and police departments?
Hosted by Professor Joseph Margulies, Professor of Law and Government, Cornell College of Arts and Sciences
The relationship between police and urban communities has a long history fraught with hostility and resentment that periodically explodes into episodes of anger and rage. But the best police leaders recognize the impact policing has had on communities of color and are trying to transform that relationship. In this talk, we will try to explain the root of anger and discuss the prospect of change.
