Dr. Yanilda Gonzalez, Assistant Professor of Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School, talked with the Community Control Now crew about her book "Authoritarian Police in Democracy: Contested Security in Latin America" which studies the persistence of police forces as authoritarian enclaves (defined as systems that use violence as a main tactic, that are not beholden to the rule of law).

Topics discussed:
- Dr. Gonzalez's research studying policing in Brazil, Colombia, Argentina
- The limitations of tracking police scandals as a way to build power in social justice movements
