Abstract
Police reform has long been a topic of heated debate in the United States. But it assumed new urgency and political significance during the past decade, as national news has carried story after story about the killing of unarmed Black men and women at the hands of law enforcement officials. In 2015, not long after the death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., the American Law Institute (ALI) launched its Principles of the Law, Policing project to address pressing questions about law enforcement failures and to provide a written framework for building just and rational policing laws, policies, and practices — a framework that police agencies and police reform advocates alike might agree on.
