Abstract
This essay explores the usage of the power mapping tool in assessing community readiness for policing reform. Biased policing is a national concern as well as a local one. The Latino population faces unique consequences of biased policing interactions including rights violations, discrimination, health risks, and reduced feelings of security. In an exploratory case study design, the stakeholders of biased policing reform policy are identified among six municipalities around the Pittsburgh area. A visual power map adapted from Eden and Ackerman’s original tool (1998) is then used to compare the composition of allies among the six communities to assess readiness for engagement in policing reform policy. The first aim of this essay is to assess how the use of the power mapping tool can identify and categorize individuals and entities within communities as allies for a political cause, specifically policing reform. The second aim is to consider how the composition of allies within communities may contribute as an indicator for community readiness for policing reform. Policy reform is a multistage endeavor that requires networks and the growth of community support. The stakeholder analysis Power v. Interest Grid is commonly executed in policy implementation, yet; the tool may prove to have implications in being applied to predictive readiness for reform. Stakeholder analysis is significant to public health in its ability to empower local communities to advocate for health and population-based policy interventions.
