The Policing Machine: Enforcement, Endorsements, and the Illusion of Public Input

Seminar hosted by the Mannheim Centre and the Phelan United States Centre 

Tuesday 21 May 2024, 6.30pm-8.00pm, MAR.1.08, Marshall Building

The past few years have seen Americans express passionate demands for police transformation. But even as discussion of no-knock warrants, chokeholds, and body cameras has exploded, any changes to police procedures have only led to the same outcomes. Despite calls for increased accountability, police departments have successfully stonewalled change.  

In The Policing Machine, Tony Cheng reveals the stages of that resistance, offering a close look at the deep engagement strategies that NYPD precincts have developed with only subsets of the community in order to counter any truly meaningful, democratic oversight.
