Reimagining Community Safety #5: A Discussion with Barry Friedman

Calls to reimagine community safety have been driven by the knowledge that, for low-income communities of color, at least, policing inflicts harms that are consistent, persistent, and seemingly resistant to change. To help us imagine alternative approaches to policing that might significantly reduce the harms currently inherent in policing, we invited Barry Friedman, Jacob D. Fuchsberg Professor of Law and Faculty Director of the Policing Project at New York University School of Law, author of the forthcoming article, “Disaggregating the Police Function.” This discussion took place on October 21, 2020.
