Beyond Policing

The forum "Imagining a World Beyond Policing," was presented by CAREpdx at Portland State University on October 11, 2019. The event consisted of a panel of local and national activists, featuring Dr. Alex S. Vitale, Professor of Sociology and Coordinator of the Policing and Social Justice Project at Brooklyn College. He is an essayist and the author of "The End of Policing." Other panelists were sociologist Julius McGee, author Kristian Williams, and activist Alyssa Pariah. Aaron Roussell moderated the event, which included sign language interpretation. The event received support from PSU Departments of Sociology and the Honors College, along with other organizations at PSU.

This two-part episode covers Dr. Vitale's talk and excerpts from the panelists' and audience members' discussions. Topics include the history of police reform, reform vs abolition, authoritarian policing vs social services, body cameras, prisons, and more. The show was recorded by PC Peri and produced/edited by Barb Greene with editing assistance from Dan Handelman.
