Dr. Jennifer Skeem & Dr. Lina Montoya’s latest study, ‘Understanding racial disparities in pretrial detention recommendations to shape policy reform’, was recently published in the Criminology & Public Policy journal. It sheds light on how institutional factors, primarily criminal history, rather than personal bias, contribute significantly to these disparities. Their work underscores the urgent need for strategic policy shifts to achieve justice and equality. Please find the article at the following link. #CriminalJusticeReform #RacialEquality
