Social Media and Police Leadership: Lessons From Boston

Following are excerpts from an article made available to PERF by the Harvard Kennedy School, Program in Criminal Justice Policy and Management, jointly published and funded by the National Institute of Justice. This is one in an ongoing series of papers called New Perspectives in Policing, produced by one or more members of the Executive Session on Policing and Public Safety. PERF is grateful to the authors and to Christine M. Cole, the program’s Executive Director, for her assistance.
