The Center for Justice Innovation—and our operating programs—are regularly featured in the media. Here is a sampling of the press coverage of our work.

  • The Meaning of a Stolen Diaper

    March 11, 2022
    The New Yorker

    Using the example of parents and caretakers stealing diapers and baby products, the New Yorker looks at the debate happening in New York about low-level prosecution. The article cites our new report on shrinking New York's misdemeanor system and Michael Rempel, co-author of the study, shares that the harms that jail produces "are criminogenic—leading to higher rates of recidivism than would have otherwise arisen had people been released.” 

  • Video Court and Language Impairments with Lisa Vavonese and Michele LaVigne

    March 7, 2022
    The NCJA Podcast

    In a court setting, system actors are often assessing the credibility of parties. How is that different over video?

  • Why The Dangerousness Standard Is Racist

    March 7, 2022
    NY Daily News

    Christina Swarns argues against the dangerousness assessment that is being considered as a bail determinant in New York City. Citing our research, including the impact evaluation of the Center's SOS Brooklyn and "Closing Rikers Island" report, she advocates that these evaluations would not make our justice system better or our communities safer, rather they would further entrench discrimination into an already biased legal system.

  • Black New Yorkers Make Up Half of Misdemeanor Prosecutions in NYC, Study Finds

    February 24, 2022
    Gothamist

While few of these cases result in criminal convictions, there is a heavy burden and cost to these interactions with law enforcement and the court system.

  • When Drivers Kill, Victims' Families Feel Let Down by Justice System in San Diego

    February 21, 2022
