COMPREHENSIVE REFORM

Over 40 years of research supports the conclusion that more restrictive use of force standards reduce police violence, yet that is not enough! What we need is comprehensive reform beyond merely the Police! We need comprehensive reform of our entire society itself! Critics may consider abolition of the need for police and prisons unrealistic and perhaps it is in today’s world, but shouldn’t that be our overriding goal for a better society and world!
