POLICING 2020: Local news reporting during a year of racial justice protests
This is supposed to be a report about the change of how news reporting represents the police but all this report is really about is how 3 liberal newspapers editorialize about the police.
Think about it – newspapers really just report how they want on any topic so it’s not that they are capturing the sentiment of a community – no they are editorializing on the message they want to report. So an analysis of the newspaper’s message is just a measurement of what the editors are saying.
This analysis says NOTHING about how the community feels about law enforcement or criminals. It says more about how the editors for the newspaper feel about police and criminals.

‘We’re Not Ready for Police-Free Zones’ | The Crime Report
This is an interesting discussion with Professor Moskos about crime and how New York City defeated crime in the 1990s. The Crime Report is a paid site where it allows 5 free articles a month. I recommend subscribing to it because it offers a lot of useful information about criminal justice issues.
Explanations for the rise in violent crime tend to avoid the role police play in crime prevention, argues policing expert Peter Moskos. In the latest installment of the “At the Crossroads” series of interviews sponsored by the Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation, Moskos tells Greg Berman that cops need to be proactive in addressing clear threats like gun offenders.
