Interviews with social scientists and criminologists who are doing cutting-edge research on police practices and behavior and how they affect the community.
Since 2020, police forces in the U.S. have experienced a surge in resignations and retirements. Is this a problem? Why is it happening? Why should we care? Scott Mourtgos, recently retired as the Deputy Chief of Police in Salt Lake City and now Assistant Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice at the University of South Carolina, has a unique perspective on these questions. Hear more about his research on the role of the George Floyd murder in triggering resignations and the effects that police shortages have on response times when citizens call for help.
