Roundtable Session
Thursday Session 2
Sheraton Centre Toronto
Room: Yorkville West
Spurred by public outcry over police killings of people of color & queer people, police reform has gained traction among activists, policy makers and scholars. But does that mean that the reformist interventions "get it right"? This roundtable considers the potential unintended consequences of police reform. In the rush to punish individual officers or fix abusive departments, are scholars and reformers inadvertently feeding the punitive state? Specifically, this roundtable addresses: (1) body cameras and their privacy implications; (2) policies regarding disciplinary records and their relationship to broader discussions about criminal records; and (3) critiques of police unions and their relationship to the labor movement. Fear of unintended consequences needn't stymie reform, but we should approach reform with open eyes.
