Policing sits at the center of some of our most heated debates about justice, power, and public safety. In the first episode of Season 11, Alex talks with philosopher Jake Monaghan (University of Southern California) about his new book Just Policing. Monaghan makes the case that policing, done right, is not just permissible but morally necessary, even as he confronts its very real capacity for harm and abuse. Drawing on his research into the political philosophy of cities and his hands-on work with police reform and reentry programs, he pushes back against calls to abolish or radically defund police, while still taking seriously the demand for accountability, restraint, and reform.
