Debate: American Police Reform

Politics
Written By Modern Treatise

Historic protests calling for police reform have erupted across the nation. But just what could these reforms mean? And how should we see the criminal justice system today? Staged in our “Unresolved” format, this debate brings together five experts to tackle pressing questions on the history and future of policing in the U.S. including:

  • Should we defund the police?

  • Do police unions do more harm than good?

  • And who should regulate the nation's law enforcement?

Debaters:

  • Paul Butler, Former Federal Prosecutor & Professor, Georgetown Law

  • Jason Johnson, President, Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund

  • Rafael Mangual, Deputy Director of Legal Policy, Manhattan Institute

  • Sue Rahr, Former Sheriff, King County

  • Vikrant Reddy, Senior Research Fellow, Charles Koch Institute
