Future Perspectives on Police—Community Relations

In this concluding chapter, we summarize findings based on ethnographic research in a Southern American State and address the implications of navigating a post-Ferguson era largely characterized by divisiveness and acrimony. We note emerging issues regarding the policing of racial and ethnic minorities and suggest approaches to foster more procedurally just practices and improve police legitimacy perceptions. In addition, we reflect on lessons learned from previous police reform efforts and provide recommendations for police-community reforms in troubled times.
