This session of the civic academy series will look at Criminal Justice Reform and Police Reform in Baton Rouge and across Louisiana.

It will look at:

• why Louisiana has lead the nation in incarceration,
• whether more incarceration means less crime,
• the unequal enforcement of non-violent, drug possession laws,
• the role of non-unanimous juries in mass incarceration
• officer salaries and making our police force more representative of our community
• the track record on police use of force in Baton Rouge.

Most important, the session will include action steps toward building a smarter, more effective approach to criminal justice in our community.
