There is also, I've heard, scant evidence that IB training changes policing outcomes. Cc @avitale

Thank you, that's sort of what I expected & it all makes sense. Are either of you willing/able to point me toward any particular research?

Full disclosure I'm so bad at google when it comes to shit like this lol but yeah I feel like learning about micro-level interventions—

—can make it easier to discount macro-level forces. I try to avoid that (I think l hedged my statements to that effect well lol) & yet!

I'm an educator so my praxis is all micro, but it's really useful to understand IBT training in terms of its limitations v. systemic limits

Stop, read J's many published articles and interviews on the topic. It's abt lived reality under brutal police, not an academic exercise.

Thank you for rec, I'd like to clarify that I in no way mean to diminishing lived reality under murderous racist system, & understanding—

—pros and cons of various interventions is important to me as an educator. Restorative justice is an all-hands-on-deck fight & we MUST win.
