#89 What Women Bring to Policing (reprise)
Criminal Injustice returns with new episodes on January 8, 2019. Until then, we're reposting some of our favorite past interviews. This episode originally appeared Sep 18, 2018.
================
Female police officers bring a unique, positive skill set to
the job. They communicate better, and have a special talent
for de-escalation. In an era when we want less force and
more de-escalation, should the future of policing be female?
