Dr. Jennifer Cobbina is an Associate Professor in the School of Criminal Justice here at MSU. Her current research includes neighborhood violence, policing, community action and more. In Dr. Cobbina’s book, published in July 2019, she draws on in-depth interviews with nearly two hundred residents of Ferguson within months of  Michael Brown and Freddie Gray’s deaths. Hands Up, Don’t Shoot is a current, on-the-ground assessment of the powerful, protestor-driven movement around race, justice and policing in America.
