1st episode of our Alt-Right Justice Report just posted. We analyze Paul Vallas rhetoric in piece for Illinois Policy discussing Chicago Police staffing. Despite all the evidence to how bad militarizing police is he calls for it anyways. youtube.com/watch?v=XFErKF…

New pod episode just dropped featuring Alexandra Block from ACLU of Illinois discussing her lawsuit challenging Chicago Police use of pretextual traffic stops against minorities to justify a modern version of stop & frisk. chicagojustice.org/2023/08/09/acl…

Just dropped: latest episode of Good & Bad Justice Journalism. We look at the 15 Qs Chicago media seems unwilling to ask Chicago Police Supt. to be Larry Snelling. Communities deserve to know the answers before the city council holds their vote. youtu.be/lRLqFcP3Tzo

Our take on the alt-right criticisms of Chicago Police foot & car pursuit policies. Their criticisms ignore the consequences for Chicago’s communities when they go wrong. Chicago paid out $30 million over the last 12 months in settlements & judgments. youtu.be/ySQ4fIUJY_k

My latest OpEd in Crain's Chicago Business - science from National Institute of Justice - shows #ShotSpotter didn’t lead to more arrests for violent gun crimes. Chicago Police, alt-right alderpeople, & editorial boards demand city keep it. Bad fiscal policy & bad for communities. chicagobusiness.com/opinion/ending…

Just Released! CJP’s new report: Cops in Schools: Tracking Nationwide Changes after George Floyd. The report helps you understand how America’s largest cities, including Chicago, shifted their policies on deploying cops in schools after the murder. chicagojustice.org/2024/03/26/cop…

In case you missed our Executive Director’s OpEd in Crain's Chicago Business last week. Above all else, this traffic stop proves that reform from the consent decree has not made it down to on-the-street engagements where it’s needed most! Don’t believe the rhetoric. chicagobusiness.com/opinion/dexter…

Starting in the fall, there will no longer be any police working as school resource officers in CPS. A report from Chicago Justice Project found 10% of large school districts reduced police since 2020 and 27% removed police completely. Read more in South Side Weekly. ow.ly/2rIA50RTIC0
