David A. Harris, "A City Divided: Race, Fear and the Law in Police Confrontations" (Anthem Press, 2020)
How do we move police forces from a warrior culture to connecting better with communities they serve?\nToday I talked to David A. Harris about his new book A City Divided: Race, Fear and the Law in Police Confrontations (Anthem Press, 2020).\nHarris is a professor at the University of Pittsburgh\u2019s law school and is the leading U.S. authority on racial profiling. Also the author of Profiles in Injustice (2002). he hosts the podcast Criminal Injustice. Topics covered in this episode include:\n\nHarris\u2019s vantage point on what the Minnesota legislature got right and only half-right in recently approving a police accountability measure in the wake of the George Floyd killing.\n\nWhy navigating fear and anger is so hard for both black suspects and the police alike.\n\nWhat role a lack of familiarity \u2013 and trust \u2013 plays for officers and suspects in trying to avoid escalating their encounters.\n\n\nDan Hill, PhD, is the author of eight books and leads Sensory Logic, Inc.
