Episode 7-Police Reform Policy
In today’s episode of A Perfect Policy, we explore the state of policing in the United States with Seth Stoughton, Professor at the University of South Carolina School of Law and expert in policing and how it is regulated. He served as a police officer with the Tallahassee Police Department and spent three years as an Investigator in the Florida Department of Education's Office of Inspector General. Additionally, he has written multiple book chapters on policing issues and his research has appeared in many top law journals. We discuss some of the obstacles facing police reform like lack of data collection and internal resistance to evidence-based policing. We also comment on the different roles of the federal, state and local government in resolving the problem of police brutality and misconduct.
