Why does this happen? Usually because these systems weren’t made to report on those data, there’s no one to enter or run the data, and other resource issues. This also makes the data that does exist wildly messy and inconsistent over time and place.

and Amy Bach: we cannot neglect the country's criminal justice data infrastructure any longer - literally every reform depends on it. Congress needs to make this part of the package.
criminologists shows that while overall jail admissions in #STL County declined over the last decade, the number of people in the jail at any given time remained stubbornly high.
"Definitions of criminality and criminal activity are rooted in structural inequalities between people of color and white people, and racist policies and practices have been used to control and separate communities of color."
Professors Huebner and Slocum and Andrea Giuffre release jail data report for St. Louis Co., MO. Length of jail stay increased, and racial disparities in pretrial detention remain.

Life in the U.S. today. News media can't keep up with all the shootings while covering other stories. Just this morning, I heard about a shooting 3 days ago in which 9 kids under age 18 were shot at a birthday party in Louisiana. This was not a big national story.
, we argue that criminal justice reform and Covid-19 pandemic recovery efforts must address the disproportionate impact that ~3.3 million NYC criminal conviction records have on Black and Brown communities:
Just released: A report that I spearheaded (along with my criminal justice colleagues) on how the federal government could radically improve criminal justice data across the nation.
