Aggressive policing damages health equity and community health

Aggressive policing, or aggressive order maintenance policing, is
prevalent throughout the US, negatively affecting the health of
those exposed to it.


Dr. Hedwig Lee, a professor at Washington University in St.
Louis, along with colleagues Michael Esposito and Savannah
Larimore discuss these effects in a new Health
Affairs Policy Brief. The brief is part of Health Affairs
ongoing series of policy briefs on the social determinants of
health.


On today's episode of Health Affairs This Week, Rob Lott talks
with Dr. Lee about the brief, how little data there is on
aggressive policing, and how the practice can not just negatively
impact individuals, but also their families and communities at
large.
