Sort    "In that writing, I made a critical error that plagues too much social science research. I was so focused on what my respondents said about policing that I did not take a holistic enough view of what they were saying about public safety and the broader processes of legal estrangement and solidarity.

 To illustrate what I mean, I want to briefly tell you about my interview with Elmira . . . "

Sort    "I want to suggest that we think about a different model of policing, not in terms of policing as a guardian or policing as a warrior . . . \[but rather\] a physician model, one that focuses on the health and wellbeing of a community—as in community health.

 So if we think about policing as healing, looking at not harming communities, it has everything to do with a different way of understanding harm and a different way of policing the community and engaging more participants in the public safety enterprise."

IDEA 4####  De-police youth

Sort    "We need to reorient our system, not just eliminating contact, not just slowing the drag of youth into it. We need to reorient how the state relates to youth.

 My idea is simple, but it's not yet in our political imagination. Youthful spaces should not be punitive spaces, but places of civic incorporation.

 What if instead of future wards going through processes of civic ostracism and criminalized identity development, we positioned youth as civic anchors, the next generation of leaders, as active democratic citizens with civic significance?"
