Policing and protests
We sit down with Professor Edward Maguire of ASU's School of Criminology and Criminal Justice, a nationally known expert on police use of force, particularly at protests and during conflict.
Throughout the summer, Maguire was frequently interviewed by national and international media to offer his opinions about how police deal with suspects and how they handled protests in several U.S. cities in the aftermath of the George Floyd killing. He talked about communities that were most affected, including Minneapolis and Portland, Oregon, and was interviewed by several dozen outlets from the U.S. and two European countries.
Maguire is co-editor of a compilation of 13 proposed reforms for U.S. police departments, “Transforming the Police,” published earlier this year.
In the Valley of the Sun, we tend to hear a lot more about hydrating during the hot summer months.
For over a decade, Jonathan Koppell, dean of the Watts College of Public Service and Community Solutions, has been a transformative leader for ASU.
When you think about transportation, you may think about getting in your car, riding a city bus, trucks hauling goods. All of those actions are at the core of how we get around and the services that are available in our communities.
