Issa Kohler-Hausmann, associate professor of law and sociology at Yale and the author of Misdemeanorland: Criminal Courts and Social Control in an Age of Broken Windows Policing (Princeton University Press, 2018), talks about her findings into the outcomes for low-level offenders prosecuted under "broken windows" policing, like that adopted by the NYPD. As the volume of arrests fell and summonses climbed, courts could not keep up and determining guilt or innocence fell by the wayside.
→EVENT: Issa Kohler-Hausmann launches her book on Monday, 3/19 at the Institute for Public Knowledge at 6pm. More info here. |
