1. A fav quote of mine: “if you take every paper that explains x% of the crime drop, we’ve explained 250% of the drop since 1991.” @ChMadar
2. We can’t explain crime drop, can’t explain crime rise. Like economists (I am one, so ok w this) still trying to explain Depression.
3. So tot fair question. Tho agree w Stuntz that rising crime/falling prison certainly helped fuel POLITICAL backlash, whatever causal story
@JohnFPfaff Yeah I'm with you & the late great WS there…
When people ask me for good CJ books to read, can only think of two: WS’s Collapse, and Ghettoside. @ChMadar
@JohnFPfaff Eager to hear why Gottschalk's Caught & Whitman's Harsh Justice aren't in yr pantheon. Coffee in the neighborhood soonMr Pfaff!
@ChMadar For Gottshalck, have review in Mich L Rev coming out soon. Whitman I like, just not so contemporary. But yes, coffee!
@JohnFPfaff And I type that as someone who thinks crime surge of those decades is too often neglected by prog reformers, advocates, scholars
