Was the O.J. Simpson case prompted a major era of police reform?

The O.J. Simpson case, particularly its high-profile nature and the issues of race and police conduct it highlighted, did contribute to discussions about police reform in the 1990s. While it did not directly initiate a major era of reform, it brought attention to systemic issues within law enforcement, including racial profiling and the need for accountability. The case's public scrutiny and the subsequent media coverage helped fuel broader conversations about police practices, leading to some initiatives aimed at reform in various jurisdictions. However, lasting change in policing practices has been a gradual process influenced by multiple factors beyond this single case.
