One focus of the protests that followed the tragic death of George Floyd was the issue of policing in minority communities. Professor Jennifer Doleac of Texas A&M University speaks with EconoFact Executive Editor Michael Klein about the need to test and try a range of policy initiatives, from training to community outreach, to improve efficacy and help build trust in the communities. Prof. Doleac is also the host of the podcast Probable Causation, which is about law, economics and crime. (https://www.probablecausation.com/)

In this second episode of EconoFact Chats, New York Times economics reporter Eduardo Porter speaks with EconoFact Executive Editor Michael Klein about his new book, American Poison: How Racial Hostility Destroyed Our Promise – a particularly timely subject in light of the recent widespread protests about systemic racism across the U.S.
