RAND experts answer questions about the future of public safety, address concerns of violence and victimization, support communities in partnership with law enforcement, and help ensure that everyone has the tools they need to feel secure and free from fear.
The types of challenges we seek to solve include:
In recent years, there has been robust discourse on ways to rethink public safety—both in design and who is engaged. What should be the role of law enforcement in working with communities? How are the needs of diverse communities supported?
How can we address this discord? What does it mean for civil discourse and civic engagement? What strategies are critical for dealing with topics such as racism and anti-Semitism? Can we promote kindness? What does this mean for social and political processes?
