One week from today! ⏰ On 5/8, ABF's Access to Justice Research Initiative and Wayne Law will host 'Emerging Insights'—bringing together researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to examine #AccesstoJustice research and translate ideas into action.

Why is the police role so broad in the US today? In our paper, @dthacher and I argue that it's a story about an out-of-control call-for-service system; a Frankenstein’s monster that took on a life of its own and eventually came back to haunt us. doi.org/10.1017/lsi.20… 🧵 1/7
