春水堂视频 the Lecture
Police unions have been part of the interest听group landscape of American localities for decades. However, ever since听George Floyd's killing by police in Minneapolis in 2020, they have been the subject of national controversy. For some, they protect bad cops, encourage听violence against civilians,听block reforms that would improve police departments, and听undermine public trust in the police. For others, they protect officers doing a tough job, improve police performance by giving officers a say about working conditions, and thereby听enhance public trust in the police. This talk will assess our knowledge of the effects of police unionization on American听local democracy and provide an analysis of their impact on public trust in the police.
