This is a very important week for the future of policing in Brazil.
The Supreme Court has been hearing arguments all day about police violence & how to reduce it.
My working paper (showing that suspending police raids ➡️ fewer homicides) was referenced in testimony today:

A write-up of my work from 2 weeks ago explains how the suspension of brutal police raids:

2. Lead to a drop in civilian homicides
