Abstract | The author is a Black woman working and teaching within the field of criminology. Her students at Ball State University are predominantly White and have had few interactions with Black, Indigenous, and people of color. The author feels that it is important for her to disrupt stereotypes her students may have by introducing them to Black people who hold positions of power within the community. Critical service learning (CSL) is a tool that helps address this issue. Through CSL, the author brings together her students and community partners to address community problems. Unlike traditional service learning, CSL works to: (1) redistribute power, allowing community partners to have a voice; (2) incorporate a social change component; and (3) develop authentic relationships. These components enable her students to have transformative experiences. This article presents using the CSL tool for the Facing Project, which provided facilitators who helped students gain the necessary skills to develop questions for interviews with community members for building trust and connections between community members and police.
