Disciplinary Action

Although the article briefly discusses several of the attempts to increase police accountability, it doesn't elaborate on precisely what disciplinary action can be taken and the exact measures taken to address the matter (for some agents of change mentioned). What changes have the "special commissions" and "civil review boards" mentioned in the article made? --Sky.m (talk) 05:11, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Discretion

The section on discretion is extremely vague. The article would greatly benefit from an explanation of the approach mentioned. It may also be beneficial to mention cases where the use of discretion was applauded/criticized and the aftermath. This section doesn't add any substantial information to the article, but with some attention it could provide a new dimension to the subject of police accountability. --Sky.m (talk) 05:17, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Police reform success/failure?

Have police reform attempts been a success or a failure? The article discusses attempts to increase accountability, but there is no mention on whether or not these attempts have been fruitful and why/why not. --Sky.m (talk) 05:22, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Statistics

Statistics should be included in this article to help bring the issue into perspective by quantification. With the addition of statistics relating to complaints against the police, disciplinary actions taken etc. it will help people determine whether or not this is a widespread issue or if it deserves to be on their radar. --Sky.m (talk) 05:28, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

References

There are too few references and they are outdated. There was one primary source used (Walker, 2005), from which most of the information was derived. The most recent source cited dates back to 2007; we are almost 10 years further and much has happened since then. More, updated sources are needed. --Sky.m (talk) 05:32, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
