About this Event
Policing at a Crossroads: Racial Justice, Community Safety, and Police Practices in Turbulent Times with Professor Julius Haag from the Department of Sociology
Across Canada, police services are going through a period of crisis unprecedented in modern times, including declining public trust and confidence, calls for defunding, and ongoing pressure to address systemic anti-Black racism. In this talk, we will explore these issues through the lens of policing in the GTA.
This talk will focus on:
- The nature and extent of some key problems faced by our local police.
- The impacts of police practices on public trust and confidence in the police and why this is vital to the police mandate.
- Policy responses to these issues, such as race-based data collection, training, oversight mechanisms, and alternative first responders.
