#23 (Mo McGough)

Reducing Crime

Jerry Ratcliffe interviews Mo McGough, Chief of Staff at The Policing Project at NYU Law, about the role, representation, and experiences of women in policing. They discuss the need for greater gender parity in law enforcement, the challenges faced by women officers, and the importance of changing the culture within police departments to support women. They also touch on the intersectionality of gender with other issues such as race and the need for men in leadership positions to advocate for gender equality. The episode highlights the progress that has been made in recent decades, but also acknowledges the work that still needs to be done to achieve greater representation of women in policing.
