Police Reform Sites
In the past weeks we have launched 3 new websites which will continue to be developed in collaboration with Blackstonian.com. These websites all focus on tracking police misconduct and instituting reforms to prevent discipline it.
MassPoliceReform.org
Mass Police Reform works to reform police practices to improve respect for basic human and civil rights, reforms should address concerns about policing, racial discrimination/profiling, diversity, excessive/deadly force and corruption.
This site was a complete rebuild and rebrand and is part of a larger local campaign to unify efforts for police reform.
ShotByPolice.Blackstonian.org
Shot By Police Boston & Beyond seeks to provide as comprehensive as possible a database of people who have been Shot and Killed by Police in Boston and some surrounding communities.
This site was a complete rebuild and rebrand completely representing the available data in a format consistent with and inspired by leading data collection projects like “The Counted”.
PoliceDecirtification.us
Police Decirtification (US) addresses the issue of police decertificaion at a national level. There are currently only 6 States without the authority to revoke a police officer’s license: California, Hawaii, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island.
This site is still under development but seeks to provide a central resource for decertification advocates across the country.
