From Police Reform to a New Public Safety Model – What do legal scholars have to say about the broken parts of our systems?

 Monday, August 17 at 1:00pm to 3:00pm

 Virtual Event

The UC Irvine Law Review, the Center for Policing Equity, and the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund are pleased to invite you to participate in “From Police Reform to a New Public Safety Model: What do legal scholars have to say about the broken parts of our systems?” on August 17, 2020 from 1-3 p.m. Pacific / 4-6 p.m. Eastern.

With grave racial disparities in the COVID-19 pandemic and a global spotlight on race and policing in the United States, America’s civil unrest has reached new levels of mobilization. In its wake, calls have shifted from “reform the police” to “defund police and reimagine public safety.” As we welcome this shift in mindset, at this live-streamed event, legal scholars will seek to answer the question: “What are our best strategies toward redesigning, funding, and implementing a new public safety model?”

RSVP Required. Webinar log-in details will be emailed to those who RSVP.
