Police abolition and the “defund police” movement have been simmering for a while but entered the national conversation after George Floyd’s death and the protests that followed. In this panel discussion, experts discuss police abolition, what it means, what it doesn't mean, and what public safety could look like without policing as we know it today.
Georgetown Law Professor from Practice Christy Lopez moderates a panel that includes Professor Allegra McLeod, Howard Law Professor Justin Hansford (L’07), and Relman Colfax Associate Tahir Duckett (L’17).
