SUMMARY:Reforming the Provision of Public Safety
LOCATION:Martha Van Rensselaer Hall 2250
DESCRIPTION:Cornell Population Center Innovations in Population Science Sp
 eaker Series presents "Reforming the Provision of Public Safety" with Boc
 ar A. Ba\, Kathleen Kaylor and G. Richard Wagoner\, Jr. Assistant Profess
 or of Economics\, Duke University. This seminar is co-sponsored with CSI.
 \n\nThis talk is based on how the protests of Summer 2020 changed the pro
 vision of public safety in the United States. Linking county-level protes
 t exposure to a decade of voter surveys and to a panel of local police de
 partments\, Dr. Ba compares protest-exposed and unexposed areas before an
 d after the summer of 2020. We find that the protests reduced stated supp
 ort for police funding by three to four percentage points\, with the decl
 ine concentrated entirely among Democratic respondents. This shift\, howe
 ver\, was modest against near-universal baseline support\, had fully reve
 rsed by 2024\, and was too small to translate into changes in police staf
 fing or workforce composition. Instead\, institutional change occurred al
 ong less contested margins: protest-exposed departments became significan
 tly more likely to be served by civilian crisis-response programs and to 
 adopt surveillance technology\, while violent crime was unchanged. These 
 results run counter to the increasingly widespread view that the protests
  of Summer 2020 failed to change American policing: rather than shrinking
  police departments\, the protests durably changed the composition of pub
 lic-safety provision.\n\nhttp://next-to-u.app/events/f300929a-ea9b-47b5-8
