Criminologist Franklin Zimring on reforming police use of force

Franklin Zimring interviewed by KQED-FM, Feb. 28, 2017

“Before the middle of 2014 … it was an important problem that was below any real policy visibility as something distinctive and national and large. And then, all of a sudden: It was important to people, and then the data started. But it was still the case that any discussion of what to do about police use of lethal force was enormously handicapped by the fact that there was very little empirical data.”
