Contributing sentiments towards policy:

46% : Hammered home in political speeches, media coverage and activist websites, that projection did much to galvanize public opinion in favor of criminal justice reform.
44% : "There is plenty more progress to be made," the study's lead author, sociologist Jason P. Robey of the University at Albany's School of Criminal Justice, told me.
44% : The Demography study warns, appropriately, that positive trends are "reversible."Still, as Douglas A. Berman, an expert on criminal sentencing law at Ohio State University's Moritz College of Law, told me, "the extent of decarceration writ large has been underexamined and underdiscussed."
