Sharing my new article exploring how we can revitalize democracy and democratize policing. Adopting policies and taking actions that I describe can help law enforcement agencies and our democracy itself earn greater legitimacy, which is urgently needed.

I don’t love this news, but I am happy for @jenniferdoleac. We started at AV on the same day, a fact we would always tell people we met. We came from very different professional backgrounds, but we had similar takes on the field. I learned so much from her and…

Prediction market operators want you to see a NYC bar hedging a Knicks promo and think "financial tool." But with sports betting exceeding $160 billion last year and almost none of it tied to actual hedging, the framing doesn't hold up.

Every unsolved crime is a threat to public safety.

Jason Olin testifies before the Ohio House Public Safety Committee on why the Niskanen Center proudly supports #HB830 alongside @realJeffLaRe and @repBrewer to prevent violent crime in Ohio.

@jenniferdoleac @Arnold_Ventures Congratulations on the remarkable work that you and your colleagues have done over the last three years! It has both advanced the knowledge base on what works and what doesn't and led to countless policy triumphs across the nation. I can't wait to see what you accomplish next!

Veterans who break the law must be held accountable. But how can the U.S. better support veterans whose military service contributed to criminal behavior?

A perspective from CCJ Veterans Justice Commission Director David MacEwen for @fulcrum_us. https://t.co/jfeNAfqxx1

[Niskanen Center @NiskanenCenter]

D.C. homicides are at a decade low — with 17% fewer cops than 2020. The secret is smarter policing.

It stopped playing defense and shifted to proactive "upstream" policing.

[Real-Time Crime Index @RTCrimeIndex]

Greg Newburn, Director of Criminal Justice at the Niskanen Center, breaks down why investing upfront to prevent crime is not only more effective but also avoids the human and financial costs on the back end.

[Prison Fellowship Advocacy @JusticeReform]

Prison Fellowship’s @sarahmaehenry and Justice Ambassador Emily Vollmer testified before the Ohio Senate Judiciary Committee in support of HB 296. We are grateful to partner with Rep.

Texas is seeing strong numeric population growth across multiple cities:

‣ Fort Worth: +19,512

Three Texas cities. Three of the top four largest numeric gains in the country. #data #txdemographics @TexasDemography

More than 2 months have passed and the legislature is yet to act. I know some lawmakers are tempted to punt, but this is the job. The Court exercised restraint so that the people's elected representatives could fashion a new approach to 2nd degree murder. It's time to act.

[Kevin Ring @KevinARing]

On March 26, the PA Supreme Court ruled that the Commonwealth's felony murder law is unconstitutional. Rather than legislate a new sentencing system from the bench - something many would have criticized the Court for doing - the Court gave the legislature 120 days to act.

$5,000 in employer insurance coverage = 51% increase in willingness to hire someone with a criminal record.

$5 million in coverage? Almost no added impact.

[California YIMBY @cayimby]

SF is the only major CA city where residents can appeal housing projects over shadows.

A supervisor's proposed SHADE Act would end that, citing 2,195 homes delayed over the past decade by shadow-based CEQA appeals.

[Vital City @VitalCityNYC]

There’s some good news out there.
