St. Bonaventure professors Dr. Benjamin Gross and Dr. Samantha Gavin have co-authored the book “Framing the Police on Twitter: Public Discourse on Abolishing Police, Defunding Police, and Community Policing.”
Their work delves into the multifaceted meanings attached to calls for police reform within the realm of social media.
Gross and Gavin, who teach in the university’s Department of Sociology & Criminology, provide readers with a comprehensive exploration of the assumptions, empirical claims, and rhetorical nuances that underpin the current dialogue surrounding police policy.
The rise of social media has transformed public discourse, making it an integral platform for debates on societal issues. The authors recognize the significance of Twitter as a key battleground for shaping public opinion on matters related to law enforcement and the role of the police in communities.
