• In Event: End All No Knocks: An activist approach to developing and deploying research-driven campaigns

Abstract

This paper initiates an exploration into the intersections of no-knock warrants and police violence, investigating how these raids affect community-police relations and public safety. Through an analysis of recent incidents and policy shifts, this study aims to uncover patterns and propose avenues for future research into the efficacy and consequences of no-knock warrants. The discussion will emphasize the need for a thorough examination of these tactics within broader law enforcement practices.
