question of how to hold law enforcement accountable for discriminatory practices is a key concern.
Efforts to address systemic racism in policing include the implementation of body cameras,
independent oversight boards, and changes to police training. However, these efforts often face
resistance, particularly in areas with entrenched police practices. Reforming the legal system to
adequately address issues of racial injustice remains an ongoing challenge.#### 13.2 **Gender
