Edward Stringham on Radically Rethinking Police

The US criminal justice system is hopelessly broken, riddled with bad incentives and bad actors. In the wake of recent police shootings, Dr. Ed Stringham joins Jeff Deist to help us understand how and why private security firms could create vastly better outcomes for crime victims, society, and even perpetrators. This is a fascinating discussion you won't want to miss.

We need to get this man heard. Some people will think he is crazy but at least we can get the topic out there and maybe get some people thinking.

I've always thought the last link in social stability was the police... a peaceful society develops from a culture OF peace... with that said, there are still bad people who will choose to violate laws of civil society... good luck dealing with that without a dedicated law enforcement agency... the stat on police kill rate vs the populace kill rate does not seem to be an Apple to Apple comparison... the average person does not go around pulling over traffic law violators or get called upon to serve warrants... I'm not sure what the point of that was... (And the rate of violence committed against police vs the death till they create is actually a very important statistic in discussing death by law enforcement)
