Exciting news for those invested in #criminaljusticereform! A new study reinforces a key principle: safely reducing jail populations does not translate to higher crime rates. This is significant. It provides strong evidence that building safer communities and achieving a more just system are not mutually exclusive goals. We can prioritize public safety while also addressing the issue of unnecessary incarceration. This research adds valuable data to the ongoing conversation. Thank you to the team at The Safety and Justice Challenge & the CUNY Institute for State & Local Governance! Let's keep working together to move the needle towards a more effective and equitable justice system. Visit: https://lnkd.in/e-FQ3Bdb #publicsafety #datadrivenjustice
