Has there been any studies, or even attempts (and record of their success) regarding reforming police departments to minimize or eliminate unnecessary use of force, abuses, selective enforcement, open racism, or the like? It's clearly a problem but I've never seen much done about fixing it except "Fire everyone" and "Feds take over."

But what do the feds do? What do the new cops do? How do you pick new cops instead of just getting the same random ones you had before?

Also, has there been any new research on how to productively prevent and stop abuse, be it child abuse, spousal abuse, or any sort of Domestic Violence?

I wasn't asking McGruff to materialize from doggy heaven and take a bite out of crime, dude. I was trying to look at one specific part of crime, that is, the police and the departments they work for, and their current problems, and how to fix them. If I was going to just do research and not talk about it why would I be on this forum?

:confused:

As far as helping the homeless by giving them homes, that's a fix for a problem, which is what I was getting at - and one I'd agree with. I'm glad it's being done and works.
