Sociologist Michael Sierra-Arévalo will address the culture of violence within law enforcement institutions at 2 p.m., Friday, April 5, in the Honors Commons at the M.D. Anderson Library as part of the restorative justice lecture series hosted by the Elizabeth D. Rockwell Center at the Hobby School of Public Affairs. Sierra-Arévalo will discuss his book, “The Danger Imperative: Violence, Death, and the Soul of Policing,” which delves into the underlying forces behind police behavior through research and field examination, drawing from over 100 interviews and 1,000 hours with law enforcement officers.
