27th January 2021

This video from The New York Times explores the killing of Breonna Taylor who was killed in her home last year in the United States.

The NYT pieced together the events leading up to her death that includes audio extracts from the police involved.

This video could be used for the Crime and Deviance unit (policing, racism). It is advised to view this material before showing to students due to the sensitive nature of the content.
