Jun 9, 2017
Consider All the Options
In the United States much of the discussion is focused on a false dichotomy: prohibiting marijuana or establishing a for-profit commercial model. But there are a number of middle-ground options such as home production (allowed in the District of Columbia) or the cannabis social clubs that we see in Spain and Uruguay. One could also limit production to nonprofit entities, or even a government monopoly. Every choice has trade-offs that should be considered by policymakers and the public.

Much of the responsibility for improving relationships falls to local communities, but several actions can be taken at the federal level. While these steps alone will not necessarily be sufficient, they can help shape and drive change at the local level. Federal actions could include building consensus on standards for using technologies such as body cameras and other tools to monitor and respond to policing problems, as well as increasing data collection and data sharing, to both inform the public and contribute to understanding the most effective ways of building and maintaining police legitimacy.

Correctional Education: How Effective Is It and What Can We Do to Make It Better?
Ex-offenders do not have the knowledge and skills to support a successful return to their communities. Trying to reduce re-incarceration rates is partly why states devote resources to educating and training individuals while in prison.

Inmates who participate in any kind of educational program behind bars are up to 43 percent less likely to reoffend and return to prison. They also are more likely to find a job, and the social stability that comes with it, after their release. Every dollar invested in correctional education saves nearly five in reincarceration costs over three years.
