Listen "Crumbling confidence in policing"
Episode Synopsis
A week ago, an RCMP officer was photographed wearing the controversial "Thin Blue Line patch". Saint Mary's University Criminology Professor Stephen Schneider wrote a piece about the history of the patch in a piece for Saltwire. Recently, the non-profit Angus Reid Institute released a survey showing fewer than half of Canadians say they have faith in the RCMP. And today, people in a residential Halifax neighbourhood are being critical of how Halifax Police dealt with a person in a truck that had been reported stolen. Schneider says there's a lot going on with the conversations around defunding and defending police in the age of mainstream and social media.
