"Police department or mayoral initiated reform proposals in Cincinnati, Seattle, and New Orleans.
"New media technology as a form of accountability.
"Revival of Special Litigation Section Under Attorney General Eric Holder.
"The role of the federal government regarding police accountability.
"The DOJ′s use of Title VI.
"The financial crisis of the city and its inability to pay for reforms.
"The impact of the national financial crisis on local governments.
