On the heels of Black Lives Matter protests happening across America and 18 other countries, the non-profit organization Campaign Zero has launched its latest efforts to combat police brutality. With data-driven solutions, these 8 policies promise to decrease police violence by 72%. Police departments that have adopted these use of force policies kill significantly fewer people but few departments have gone on to implement these policies.
