Some law enforcement experts have claimed that social activism after George Floyd's murder has led to police officers quitting the force en masse, leading to a national shortage. Professor Ben Grunwald conducted the largest-ever empirical study of the law enforcement labor market and discusses what his data reveals. Read his research paper, A Large-Scale Study of the Police Retention Crisis, at this link.

James Boyle | The Line: AI and the Future of Personhood

Professor James Boyle speaks at an author celebration of his new book, The Line: AI and the Future of Personhood (MIT Press). The book explores how technological developments in artificial intelligence challenge our concept of personhood, and of "the line" we believe separates our species from the rest of the world but that also separates "persons" with legal rights from objects. The book is available free through open access at this link
