SUMMARY:Consortium on Moral Decision-Making: Ben Jones
DESCRIPTION:\nThe Consortium on Moral Decision-Making is an interdiscipl
inary network devoted to developing projects on moral and ethical decisi
on-making. The Consortium is jointly supported by the College of the Lib
eral Arts\, Social Science Research Institute\, and Rock Ethics Institut
e\, along with The McCourtney Institute for Democracy and Department of
Philosophy.\n\nBen Jones\, assistant professor of public policy and assi
stant director of the Rock Ethics Institute\, will give a talk about wha
t impact race has on support for public safety alternatives to the polic
e. Ben is currently working on a book project entitled Antiracist Polici
ng\, with Karin Martin at the University of Washington. This book charts
a third path between the alternatives of limited reform and abolition.
It shares activists' discontent with many reforms that end up being impl
emented but also argues that policing has a necessary role to play in an
antiracist society. Ultimately\, we cannot forgo the difficult work of
transforming policing so that it advances rather than undermines antirac
ist goals.\n\nOne strategy they propose is to reduce policing's role and
limit it to functions where it is necessary—that is\, the least harmful
means available—to advance public safety. The implication is that there
need be greater investments in and experimentation with public safety s
trategies that do not rely on police. How might race impact support for
such alternatives? Ben will share the limited data available on that que
stion and would like to spend the bulk of the talk thinking through pote
ntial ways to answer it. For Zoom link\, please contact the organizers D
aryl Cameron (cdc49@psu.edu) and Clara Civiero (cac7291@psu.edu).\n\nFor
