At IDEA Analytics, we connect the dots for our clients using systematic and new approaches to achieve lasting results.
In this episode, Jessica, Steve, Rodney, and Harold dive into the primary challenges faced by law enforcement agencies in their efforts to reform, connect with their communities, and address crime effectively.
Throughout the conversation, they touch on the superficial nature of some reforms, the impact of organizational bureaucracy, and the difficulties of navigating large, complex agencies as opposed to smaller police departments. They discuss the relationship between community engagement and fighting violent crime and question the repeated use of standard strategies despite limited success.
They also highlight the importance of agencies understanding and addressing the root causes of violence and crime, especially among young men of color, and the systemic issues that lead to a lack of opportunities in these communities.
