Presenting Great Question with Tony Dokoupil: Does America Need More Police?

About this episode

Mike Pesca is back to introduce Great Question with Tony Dokoupil, a new show he’s spent the past few months working on with CBS. In this debut, host Tony Dokoupil sits down with author Malcolm Gladwell to tackle a controversial question: Does America actually have too few police officers? Drawing on data from his book The American Way of Killing, Gladwell contrasts U.S. and European public safety spending, breaks down the misallocation of resources toward incarceration over active policing, and explores how precision community intervention can curb violence.
