Margo Schlanger, Henry M. Butzel Professor of Law, is an expert on civil rights, prison reform, and torts. "Regardless of the outcome of the criminal matter, the Ferguson Police Department should quickly institute thoroughgoing reforms addressing both excessive force and police respect for protesters," she said. "It's clear that Ferguson is far from where it needs to be in both areas. The goal for a police department should be not merely that its officers avoid criminal liability but that they are simultaneously effective, proportionate and respectful. Appropriate reforms could improve policy and practice, training, supervision, monitoring, discipline, and civilian complaints." Contact: 734-615-2618, [email protected] Bio: http://bit.ly/1uesnWx
