Before the Badge Book Panel

Join us for a panel discussion on Dr. Samantha Simon’s book, Before the Badge: How Academy Training Shapes Police Violence (NYU Press), which examines how police training academies socialize cadets into state-sanctioned violence. The panel will feature Dr. Samantha Simon, Dr. Taylor Winfield, and Dr. Robert Vargas, with Dr. Daniel Menchik as moderator. Together, they will discuss how police training shapes officers’ behavior and examine the broader implications for policing and society. This event is free and open to all.
