Law Enforcement Leaders (click here) to Reduce Crime and Incarceration. Launched on October 21st, the group brings together over 130 top police chiefs and prosecutors from all 50 states to call for an end to mass incarceration. Their message to the country is clear: we must reduce imprisonment, and law enforcement knows from experience that we can do so while keeping down crime.
Law Enforcement Leaders is a project of the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law, spearheaded by our Justice Program Director Inimai Chettiar. The group launched last week at a widely covered press conference in Washington, D.C, and met with President Obama at the White House.
We believe this new, perhaps unexpected voice can help push forward momentum to urgently address our criminal justice crisis. You can sign up for future newsletters at lawenforcementleaders.org or follow it on twitter at @lawleadgroup.
