Jeff Deutch: Profiling (In)justice
Channel: media.ccc.de
Date: 28/12/2015

This talk will focus on the potential ability of data disaggregated by race and ethnicity to reduce discriminatory policing in Germany.  In the UK, data has been collected during police procedures, allowing for a monitoring and evaluation of discriminatory policing practices. Unfortunately, such an empirically driven policy approach is not currently possible in Germany. This talk will argue that, as a first step, a policy based off the UK approach towards data collection be implemented in Germany to incorporate, rather than ignore, Germany’s diverse identities, and to allow for empirically driven and more effective policing.
