After celebrating 25 years of hard work as staunch advocates for criminal justice reform last year, The Sentencing Project has published a timely compilation of views for the future from some of the best minds in the reform field. The publication, To Build a Better Criminal Justice System: 25 Experts Envision the Next 25 Years of Reform, features the keynote address given at the anniversary celebration by Jeremy Travis, president of John Jay College of Criminal Justice.
In addition to Travis’ address, Summoning the Superheroes: Harnessing Science and Passion to Create a More Effective and Humane Response to Crime, the publication offers several essays on policy initiatives and public education strategies, including:
Partnerships between the criminal justice system and the public health community
The challenges of using state and federal budget shortfalls as a major focus for reform
Reframing juvenile justice policy under the heading of what if it was “my child?”
The strategic role of a racial justice and human rights framework in shaping reform strategies
