Since the high-profile police killings of Philando Castile, Daunte Wright and Tyre Nichols, all of which began as traffic stops, calls for de-escalation by officers have been growing. A study analyzing footage in 577 stops of Black drivers found the first 45 words spoken by the officer could determine how that encounter ended. Amna Nawaz spoke with Tracey Meares to learn more.

To conclude our miniseries on Trust, we talk to Nathan Matias about how exactly people lost trust in Elon Musks’ Twitter, and revisit our recent interview with Tracey Meares and Tom Tyler about how procedural justice can convince can… Continue reading 74 Do You Trust that Justice is Just? with Nathan Matias, Tracey Meares, and Tom Tyler (Trust episode 4)

In this episode, we're thinking about the many ways in which girls and women in the U.S. are denied, passed over, and even cheated of opportunities they have earned.  We note that it happens at school, college, graduate school, the work environment, and even in government.  Being denied can be humiliating, embarrassing, and stressful.  But, women can and do fight back—often by overachieving. How do we move ahead in light of social, political and other forces that hold women, girls, and those of other marginalized backgrounds back?Joining us to discuss these issues is a very special guest who tells her own story about being denied.Professor Tracey Meares is the Walton Hale Hamilton professor and a founding director of the Justice collaboratory at Yale Law School, and a former professor at the University of Chicago Law School. She is a nationally recognized expert on policing in urban communities.Check out this episode's landing page at MsMagazine.com for a full transcript, links to articles referenced in this episode, further reading and ways to take action.Tips, suggestions, pitches?

Why does the criminal justice system feel so unfair to those who interact with it? Why does Internet governance often feel so arbitrary? Legal scholars Tracey Meares and Tom Tyler believe that we need justice systems made up of fair processes designed first and foremost to help us trust that justice. This week on Reimagining, we're joined by the two cofounders of the Justice Collaboratory at Yale Law School.

This episode of Conversations with Chanda dives deep into policing with Tracey L. Meares, the Walton Hale Hamilton Professor and Founding Director of the Justice Collaboratory at Yale Law School. Chanda and Tracey discuss the challenges police departments face as they work to ensure public safety while also building public trust.

Following the murder of George Floyd in May 2020, there were calls for sweeping police reform across the U.S. Floyd's murder sparked the largest racial justice protests since the Civil Rights Movement — and ignited long overdue conversations about police violence and the racist roots of our criminal (in)justice system.  Many states changed their use of force standards in the aftermath, with bans on chokeholds and neck restraints. Several states also established the duty for  police officers to inter­vene in cases of excess­ive or illegal force.  There was also some accountability in the justice system. Derek Chauvin — the former police officer who murdered Floyd — was found guilty, marking a significant moment in the quest for justice.  Now, the three other cops involved in Floyd's death face trial. Thomas Lane, J. Alexander Kueng, and Tou Thao are accused of violating Floyd's constitutional rights by not intervening when Chauvin pressed his knee into Floyd's neck for 9 1/2 minutes.  While we await that verdict, there have been developments in other high-profile cases of police-involved killings. Last week, Kim Potter — the former Minneapolis police officer who killed Daunte Wright — was sentenced to two years in prison. Potter fatally shot Wright during a routine traffic stop. Her sentence was far less than the standard manslaughter sentence of seven years. Judge Regina Chu defended the sentencing, saying Potter was quote a "cop who made a tragic mistake," not one who committed murder as in the Chauvin case.  Even still, instances of police violence against Black bodies continue. At the beginning of February, Minneapolis police officers entered an apartment building under a no-knock warrant and seconds later shot and killed Amir Locke. Locke, who is Black, was not named on the warrant. The incident is under review and the officer involved in the shooting is on administrative leave. So how much has policing actually changed since Floyd's death? Are we seeing any real oversight? And what are the challenges of making lasting change in policing?  For that and more, The Takeaway spoke to Tracey Meares,  professor at Yale Law School and a founding director of the Justice Collaboratory, and Nia T. Evans, writer, researcher, and fellow at the Boston Review.

She's a nationally recognized expert on policing. She speaks with Fred about the need to reimagine public safety and reform, the distinct American policing experience in a global context, and what it's like trying to convince her law school students that criminal procedure is actually about constitutional law.This interview was recorded remotely.

Police violence is one of the most observable manifestations of structural racism in the US, but is addressing this a matter of finding the “bad actors” or rethinking the system altogether? Guest host Dr. Daniel Webster, director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Prevention and Policy, talks with Tracey Meares, professor of law and founding director of The Justice Collaboratory at Yale Law. They discuss why America’s approach to public safety must be examined, how some jurisdictions are implementing change, and suicide prevention.

Yale Law School professor Tracey Meares joins us to discuss the past and future of police reform, including her government and academic work in this area. We touch on what the Obama administration did and didn't do after Ferguson. We also discuss how calls for defunding the police and prison abolition play out in the policy sphere.

The killing of George Floyd by police officers in Minneapolis has sparked another wave of national outrage over police brutality and violence. Protesters have taken to the streets, demanding an end to police violence, and some are even asking for police departments to be defunded or abolished altogether. On this episode, we explore what better policing could look like, and what role research and science might play in serious reform. We talk with experts about the effects police violence is having on Black Americans’ health — both mental and physical. It’s not only the actual violence — it’s also the constant fear of violence, and the fear of being stopped and arrested that’s causing stress and anxiety. We hear ideas for reform, along with how we can improve, or even reinvent, American policing. Also heard on this week’s episode: We talk to Rashawn Ray, an associate professor of sociology at the University of Maryland, College Park, about his experiences with police, and his essay “Bad apples come from rotten trees in policing.” He is also a Rubenstein Fellow at the Brookings Institution. Harvard University public health researcher David Williams and Bay Area pediatrician and community health advocate Rhea Boyd discuss the health impact of police violence on communities of color. The threat of violence can lead to increased anxiety, depression, and hypervigilance. Rohini Haar, an emergency medicine physician in Oakland, California, and medical expert for Physicians for Human Rights, explains the health effects of tear gas, which can include permanent injury and even death. We talk to Karen Quigley, a psychology professor at Northeastern University, about how more factors than we might think affect police officers’ decision-making. Judith Andersen, a health psychologist at the University of Toronto Mississauga, then weighs in on how better, science-based training could help officers overcome their fight-or-flight response in the midst of stressful situations. Tracey Meares — a law professor at Yale Law School, and founding director of The Justice Collaboratory — discusses her research on how to improve the relationship between police and the public, which she says involves a fundamental reframing of how we think about police.

Building on two previous Forums about race, criminal justice and health (from February 2015 and October 2015), this event examined specific approaches and models to address the complexities of race and policing. Experts in law enforcement, public health, community relations and the law spoke. Subjects included safeguarding law enforcement and communities, promoting more effective communication and de-escalation techniques, and narrowing the social, economic and health gaps that persist between underserved and middle-class America. The emphasis was on local and state approaches. This event was presented jointly with PRI's The World & WGBH on March 27, 2017. Watch the entire series at ForumHSPH.org.

With the recent tragedies in Baton Rogue, Falcon Heights, and Dallas, the topic of race and policing has dominated the national dialogue. Are we asking too much of police? Can we move forward to create more trust between police and communities of color? And will Bernie Sanders’ endorsement of Hillary Clinton impact progress on police reform? Maria Hinojosa leads a discussion with Tracey Meares, Professor at Yale Law School and former member of President Obama’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing, Terrell Jermaine Starr, National Political Correspondent for Fusion, and Zak Cheney Rice, Senior Staff Writer at Mic.

Police shootings and the Black Lives Matter campaign have shone a spotlight on how different the everyday experiences are of white Americans and Americans of color. While much attention has been paid to these seemingly daily occurrences, the historical forces that led to our current situation have been less discussed: Is the de facto segregation that exists in many Northern cities a result of the lack of forced integration of the type that took place in the South? And is the mass incarceration of and police brutality inflicted on black Americans a result of these same forces?
