Risks & tensions

  • references to 'commonsense measures' on gun violence and 'accountability and reform' of law enforcement are politically charged but contain no policy substance in this document
  • framing of underreporting due to 'fear of negative interactions with law enforcement' touches on live partisan debates without directing action
