Reflections on Minneapolis, New York, and the Limited Context of Policing Reforms: Part 1 of Policing, Race, and Minneapolis’s Single-Family Zoning Reform

Andrea McArdle writes for The Faculty Lounge in part 1/3 of Reflections on Minneapolis, New York, Race, Policing, and Zoning: “The disparities in resources between cities within a city are reflected and reinforced in their relationships with law enforcement. The well-resourced city relies on local police forces to provide public safety and protect private property. The under-resourced city has little property to protect but often experiences a high degree of public-safety risk, typically with little assurance that its heightened need will be met.”
