21: How to Reimagine Policing with Front End Accountability w/ Barry Friedman

When people think about accountability from the constitutional law perspective, we usually jump straight to elections, the people having a voice, and bringing the public's voice to policy making.

On this episode of Pinpoint, I was joined by Barry Friedman, the founding director of the Policing Project, professor of law at NYU, and author of two books and many articles.

What we talked about:

• The difference between front end and back end accountability
• The importance of transparency, voice, and communication in police departments
• What Edward Snowden and Ferguson, Missouri, have in common
• Reimagining public safety
