Averted School Violence (ASV) database – 2021 Analysis Update
A very interesting point of the data analysis is on page 11 the most common security measure used where potential attacks were averted was “Security Officers or Police Officer at/in school”. It is not surprising to me but in the current climate where there is a push to remove police from school in the capacity of SRO or SLO this call for action should be re-examined.

Long Road to Nowhere How Southern States Struggle with Long-Term Incarceration
The Deep South is the epicenter of mass incarceration. The United States incarcerates more people per capita than any other country, with prison populations growing by 86% between 1990 and 2019. For Southern states, prison populations exploded by 127% during that same period. During this time in history, America implemented “tough on crime” policies that responded to public health issues like the drug epidemic with incarceration instead of rehabilitation. Laws for even nonviolent crimes became more punitive with longer sentences, and people of color were disproportionately pushed into prisons with little hope for parole.

The Invisible Rules That Govern Use of Force by Ion Meyn :: SSRN
This is an interesting article about the rules that govern police use of force.
Abstract
Police departments reject the idea that use of force can be governed by hard and fast rules.

Despite the prevalence of this view, the Article finds that, behind closed doors, departments are constructing hard and fast rules that limit officer discretion.
