Events surrounding the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis sparked three weeks of protests and once again, police reform is front and center in American politics.  Democrats in the House of Representatives have proposed a slate of reforms, which mirror others already being discussed or advanced in state legislatures around the country.



Basil Smikle MPA '96, Lecturer of International and Public Affairs at SIPA, will take a look at legislation put forth in the House and here in New York and discuss their strengths, weaknesses and challenges for implementation.

Tuesday, June 16  |  11:00 a.m.*
