Michael Scott
Michael Scott is one of Arizona State University’s leading experts in policing.
Scott is a clinical professor in the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice and the director of the Center for Problem-Oriented Policing, a research center that produces information about how police can effectively and fairly address specific public-safety issues.
Those of us who are policing scholars would be well-advised to dedicate at least some of our time and energy to thinking about the racial implications of all kinds of police practices and policies, and give a fresh look to ways in which routine and traditional policing has exacerbated tensions between police and minority communities, especially African-American communities.
