Reimagining Policing
 New Social Justice Brief Explores National Models to End Racism in Policing
The recent killings of unarmed Black people such as George Floyd and Breonna Taylor at the hands of police has further exposed systemic racism in our nation’s law enforcement. Reimagined approaches to policing put a premium on preventive policing, partnering with the communities police serve, and recognizing that the culture of policing that perpetuates racist practices and policies must change. NASW’s new social justice brief, Reimagining Policing: Strategies for Community Reinvestment, examines national models and innovative ideas, such as the growing police abolition movement, to transform policing to meet the needs of our increasingly diverse nation and end racism in policing.
