This is a must listen to for Police Officers.
Professors Braga, MacDonald, and Weisburd discuss how Criminology is known for its bias against policing. They discuss how Criminology, in part, has become agenda driven. All 3 Professors have published many books and academic articles on some very helpful topics for policing. The discussion touches on evidence based practices and the future of Criminology.
It is especially nice to here a discussion on Criminology that wasn’t anti-police.
Here is the article that the professors were concerned with:
