Everyday InjusticeEveryday Injustice Podcast Episode 265: Author Jill Leovy Discusses GhettosideIn 2015, Jill Leovy wrote a book: Ghettoside: A True Story of Murder in America.”
“Ghettoside,” a blend of street reporting and scholarship, introduced and elaborated the idea that high-crime communities are simultaneously under-policed and over-policed. It further broke ground by locating the causes of urban violence in problems of law, not in family structure, culture, psychological differences or other familiar scapegoats. “
Listen as Jill Leovy talks about her book nearly a decade later, talks about crime reporting and the problems of policing urban violence.2024-12-1642 min

But how do we fix it?To answer that question, Jane brings together a round table to debate solutions ranging from modernizing training, stronger ties between police misconduct and financial culpability, and divesting from policing to invest in community-based services.Joining Jane is Randy Shrewsberry, a former police officer and the executive director of the Institute fo...2021-04-2833 min
