For the last several years, police violence in America has come to
the forefront of public consciousness. It is an issue that can polarize the country but for years, there lacked a data-driven analysis of police violence on a national level, and concrete policy recommendations on the issue were hard to come by.  On this episode of Root of Conflict,

Pearson Fellows Sonnet Frisbie and Mwangi Thuita speak with Sam Sinyangwe - activist, data scientist, and co-founder of Mapping Police Violence, the most comprehensive database of people killed by police.  Sam discusses the evidence-based approaches to measuring police violence in America, and the importance of conveying the data, to the public and to policymakers, in a way that can affect real policy change.
