Check out my latest piece with @NNJohnsonEdD in @washingtonpost featuring our research on facial recognition tech. With the right guardrails, it can save lives without endangering our liberties. @CouncilonCJ @abgelb @gsucjc @aysps @gsucehd @GSU_Research

CCJ President and CEO @abgelb spoke with @CBSEveningNews about why the public’s perception of crime doesn’t always mirror crime trends: https://t.co/LfHWpK3MVH

Six years after George Floyd’s murder sparked nationwide calls for police reform, and after a sharp rise and fall in violent crime, how has policing changed and what remains the same?

CCJ today released an updated collection of data examining U.S. law enforcement trends. 🧵

With health care and Medicaid fraud back in the news, here’s a reminder: we literally wrote the book on physician deviance, fraud, and the power to prescribe. @WhiteHouse @NNJohnsonEdD

Join us Wednesday, 4/13, in Philadelphia as we discuss how fines and fees can deepen poverty, widen inequity, and separate families from the pets they love—and how reform can replace punishment with support. @NNJohnsonEdD @CouncilonCJ @aysps

"D.C. cannot police its way out of a problem that often builds before law enforcement ever arrives," Thaddeus L. Johnson and Natasha N. Johnson write. https://t.co/59PgmqRGI7

[Thaddeus Lateef Johnson @docthadjohnson]

@PostOpinions @NNJohnsonEdD @columbia_dc @CouncilonCJ @aysps @AUG_University By 2024, about 85% of violent juvenile arrests occurred outside home areas in DC. That suggests youth violence is as much about movement across the city as it is about home neighborhoods.

[Thaddeus Lateef Johnson @docthadjohnson]

@PostOpinions piece with @NNJohnsonEdD shows youth violence in @columbia_dc often happens outside juveniles’ home neighborhoods. Prevention must meet them as they move across the city. Safe Passage is a promising step. @CouncilonCJ @aysps @AUG_University
