We're winding down the #YWCAhbg21DayChallenge. Today's topic is Racial Bias and Traffic Enforcement. In the U.S., the general public is most likely to come into contact with police during traffic stops, and, particularly for people of color, these encounters can turn deadly. Since 2017, more than 800 people have been killed by officers after being pulled over, according to statistics from the Mapping Police Violence database. This alarming trend underscores the urgent need for systemic reform in the way law enforcement is conducted on our roadways. Addressing this is a crucial step toward rebuilding the shattered trust between communities of color and law enforcement agencies. The 21 Day Social Equity and Racial Justice Challenge is sponsored by McNees Wallace & Nurick LLC https://lnkd.in/eEprCvMV

💫Denver is adopting a new policy for low-level traffic violations. Following the lead of LA and Philly, police will now only stop drivers for serious safety threats. 🤔This shift aims to improve community relations and reduce unnecessary interactions. Nationwide, there's a growing debate on how best to address crime and allocate resources for public safety. Traditional cost-benefit analyses often overlook the "social costs" of policing, such as physical and mental health issues, lost educational and economic opportunities, and reduced civic engagement. These costs disproportionately affect Black communities and other over-policed communities of color. By considering these broader impacts, Denver's new approach could be a step towards a more holistic and equitable public safety strategy. 🚔 #Denver #PublicSafety #Policing #CommunityRelations #SocialCosts #Equity #CrimePrevention

#CriminalJusticeMinute No issue in policing has been as controversial as the use of force. 🚔⚖️ For many, especially in minority communities, brutality includes more than just physical harm—it involves verbal abuse, harassment, and unnecessary stops or searches. 🔹 Excessive Force: When officers use more force than necessary to control a situation, it creates a no-win scenario. Police face legal consequences, citizens grow more resentful, and law enforcement agencies lose community respect. 🔹 Deadly Force: The greatest concern is when force leads to death or serious injury. Since the Supreme Court’s 1985 decision in Tennessee v. Garner, restrictions on deadly force have reduced police shootings. What are your thoughts on the current use of force policies?👇 #CRJ101 #MoraineValleyCRJ
