@ijdrugpolicy @SachiniBandara @colleenlbarry Highlighting inequities perpetuated by punitive policies as motivation to reform policy may increase public support for eliminating some punitive policies, but may also heighten stigma.

[JHSPH Stigma Lab @JHSPHStigmaLab]

In a new paper in @ijdrugpolicy led by @SachiniBandara with @colleenlbarry, we tested the effects of message frames on stigma towards individuals with felony drug convictions & support for 4 policies: mandatory minimums, ban-the-box, and restrictions on SNAP & public housing

[JHSPH Stigma Lab @JHSPHStigmaLab]

@ijdrugpolicy @SachiniBandara @colleenlbarry Framing as a social justice issue also reduced perceptions that this population could live productive lives following release.
