policing reform
Law enforcement changes
Policing reform refers to efforts to change how police departments operate, typically in response to concerns about excessive force, racial bias, or lack of accountability.
Reform proposals range from modest adjustments like better training and body cameras to more fundamental restructuring of how communities handle public safety.
The phrase gained prominence after high-profile police killings: The protests sparked calls for policing reform.
Related terms like "defund the police" represent more radical positions within the broader reform conversation.
