    "abstract": "<p><em>This Note discusses failed police accountability measures and suggests a new </em><em>intervention, “Police Yelp,” that focuses on community control over police officers. The Note </em><em>discusses the current institutional measures that have attempted to control police but have </em><em>failed, largely due to their reactive and institutional nature. To better control police and ensure </em><em>they are policing as communities want to be policed, this Note argues for community control </em><em>over police through a democratic process, similar to the way that users interact with businesses </em><em>on Yelp. The Note draws on power shifting as articulated by Jocelyn Simonson, among others, </em><em>which advocates for shifting power from the elite to the everyday residents who are subjugated </em><em>to the deadly power of police. Through “Police Yelp,” residents will be given the authority and </em><em>platform to report on every interaction they have with police, and police departments will be </em><em>required to take action against their officers based on those reviews by residents. In this way, </em><em>“Police Yelp” gives the power back to the community to determine how, when, and by whom </em><em>they want to be policed.</em></p>",
