Recidiviz’s Post

Valuable new research on the gaps in data for local justice systems. Filling these in allows for more informed policy choices to be made. This can include simulating a range of options to identify those with the greatest impact on key metrics, such as serious crimes & recidivism, jail populations, racial disparities, and employment.

“[M]aking the investment and addressing the short-term obstacles to enhancing data capacity…is more than worth the long-term gains in fairness, transparency, and fortifying faith in a system where bonds of trust have been eroded.” The decisions made by each of the more than 2,000 prosecutors’ offices nationwide have significant impacts on individuals and their communities, but few offices collect and share data in ways that help inform policy choices and improve case outcomes. Thankfully, a new generation of prosecutors is investing in data infrastructure that helps improve both equity and transparency, thereby strengthening trust in the system and promoting public safety. In a new op-ed in The Crime Report, FJP’s Miriam Krinsky, Ryan Gentzler, and Michaela Bono explain why elected district attorneys – and those who fund them – must prioritize data to create a better justice system. https://lnkd.in/g8aneNCR
