“A system of alternative first response represents a framework in which cities begin to respond to people with the care they need–not just the gun, badge, and handcuffs we have available,” said @TahirDuckett, Executive Director of @CICSGeorgetown.

“People are serious about redefining the role of police and what problems are better suited for other people to solve. We can’t wait for research - but we have to measure while we innovate - especially to look for unintended consequences.” @NIJDirLaVigne w/ @barryfriedman1

OPINION | "It’s time to recognize the harm [crime-suppression units] cause — and put an end to them and the approach to #policing they embody," writes #GeorgetownLaw Professor @Christy_E_Lopez @CICSGeorgetown in @washingtonpost @PostOpinions: bit.ly/3jh7dhQ

Today the Center released a new report “A Forensic Without the Science: Face Recognition in U.S. Criminal Investigations” which argues that face recognition tech, as used by law enforcement, has not been verified as a reliable means of identification.

"Every time you put somebody in jail, you increase rather than decrease the chances of that person, later on engaging in criminal activity." @TahirDuckett of @CICSGeorgetown on Closer Look with Rose Scott yesterday.

In a report by Georgetown Law @CICSGeorgetown, they write "Fulton County is an outlier not only in its choice to imprison its residents at a uniquely high rate, but in its response to the overcrowding this choice has caused." Read the report: tinyurl.com/georgetowncics

Why is Fulton County (where 90% of Atlanta is located), which jails its residents at nearly three times the rate of other urban counties, threatening to defund its alternative response & pre-arrest diversion program?🧵

Communities of color disproportionately bear the burden of both poor street design & harmful fines & fees policies.
In @SmartGrowthUSA's new #DangerousByDesign report, FFJC's @PSarathyJones spells out why better design is more effective than enforcement:
