Priscilla A. Ocen (She/Her)

Professor of Law

Organization: The Center for Community Alternatives to Policing

Location: Los Angeles, CA

“I work toward a world where reliance on police for public safety becomes obsolete. Instead, I envision a society where everyone’s needs are met—where there are enough resources to house, feed, clothe, and educate all.”

Leading Edge Idea

Priscilla’s Leading Edge idea is establishing The Center for Community Alternatives to Policing to foster an ideological, political, and research ecosystem that champions non-carceral, community-based care as an alternative to policing and prisons.
