Working with my partner @Crimealytics, we wrote in the @USATODAY about the critical need to revolutionize how we collect, process, and disseminate all criminal justice data - highlighting crime data's deficiencies in the process. Enjoy! usatoday.com/story/opinion/p…
Very nice interview by @Crimealytics explaining crime data and what we do and don’t understand. npr.org/2022/10/27/113182585…
Listening and loving Tracie Keesee with @PolicingEquity @iamdannymurphy @carmenbest discuss data for transparency and engagement. #IACP2022
Loved running into Nazmia at #IACP2022
Just arrived here in Dallas for #IACP2022. Can’t wait to see old friends and colleagues, and make some new ones. Let me know if you’re here and we can meet up.

With the caveat that crime data in the US is a mess so we don't even know the number of homicides that happened last year, the best near real-time data shows the murder rate has plateaued and may even be falling, though from much higher levels than 2019.

We should be alarmed that the FBI’s data gap will make it harder to analyze 2021 crime trends, including homicides

Proud to work with @mo_mcgough and the @policingproject on Health Check, including thinking through how to develop ways to measure these critical aspects of policing.

Today, Louisiana took an enormous step backward, becoming the first state in the country to begin the process of repealing its “Raise the Age” statute, seeking to return to an unfortunate past when 17-year-old children were automatically prosecuted and jailed as adults.
Great resource to try and bring some things together. I know they’ve got some good people working on like @chrisfishsea
