Is Austin really the most dangerous city in Texas? Did our murder rate actually increase in 2020? And what does any of that have to do with public safety?

In the newest episode of The Austin Common Radio Hour, we continue our series on policing by taking a deep dive into local crime data and debunking some common rumors about Austin’s efforts to reimagine public safety. 

Guests include University of Texas Professor (and former Austin City Council Member) Bill Spelman, as well as Chris Harris of Texas Appleseed.
