Along with postdoc Lina Montoya and colleague Chris Lowenkamp, Jennifer Skeem delivered a presentation to the U.S. Judicial Conference Committee on Criminal Law titled “Understanding and addressing racial disparities in pretrial detention.” The presentation is underpinned by sophisticated analyses that span four cohorts of defendants across all 94 districts in the nation. She is working with experts at the U.S. Administrative Office of the Courts, Pretrial and Probation Services to create a data-informed action plan for transforming policy and practice to reduce disparities.
