The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine [one of my fav sources - loe] has released a new report, Reducing Racial Inequality in Crime and Justice Science, Practice, and Policy. From the press release:
"To reduce racial inequality in the U.S. criminal justice system, local, state, and federal government should explore ways to reduce police stops and searches, jail detention, prison admission, and long sentences, says a new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.
The report recommends governments explore coordinated policy reforms across each stage of the criminal justice system — pointing to drug sentencing reform, providing “second look” provisions for long sentences, eliminating revocations of community supervision for technical violations, and eliminating the death penalty as examples of reforms that could reduce racial inequality while maintaining public safety. Moreover, governments should also explore reforms that address economic, environmental, educational, and public health disparities. ..."

I just figured out I could add a blog to my WSU library guides, so here it is! This blog will be shared across all the disciplines I work with (political science, criminal justice, law, sociology, and (maybe?) sport studies) on every related library guide (or will be once I do it...). Please note that you can subscribe to it via email. I will be sharing library updates, interesting reports and other publications, government information, and more. Blog posts allow comments, but you can also send me an email or a tweet (@WSULorena).
