Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : That is a tall order, but one thing is clear: The police violence we have witnessed in Memphis, Minneapolis and other cities undermines trust in law enforcement.
48% : The Council on Criminal Justice has produced such a menu of violence prevention methods backed by sound research.
44% : Some explanations for the homicide spike attributed it to criminal justice reforms, such as the elimination of cash bail and the election of "progressive" (i.e., "soft on crime") prosecutors.
42% : New numbers, just published in a study by the nonpartisan Council on Criminal Justice, indicate that homicides dropped by more than 9% during the first half of 2023 compared with the same period last year.
