SUMMARY:Jennifer Doleac: The Science of Second Chances in Criminal Justice
DESCRIPTION:Can small changes result in big results? Come with your questions and find out when Jennifer Doleac joins us in San Francisco.\n\n\nJennifer Doleac studies the economics of crime and discrimination. And when she considers criminal justice reform\, she’s not only hopeful but actually optimistic that things can improve for the entire system as a whole. In her new book The Science of Second Chances\, Doleac lays out her view of how to reduce both crime and incarceration. She draws on cutting-edge economic research and experiments to offer a reform blueprint. She says shifting the incentives that people face can produce dramatic changes in the decisions they make\, which can result in significantly fewer people going through the criminal justice system. \nFrom DNA databases that increase the likelihood of catching repeat offenders to leniency programs for first-time defendants\, she reveals a series of surprising interventions that she says actually work\, along with cautionary tales about great ideas that never panned out. Doleac says we can have both public safety and a smaller\, “less intrusive” justice system without waiting for big structural reforms that might never happen. \nCan small changes result in big results? Come with your questions and find out when Jennifer Doleac joins us in San Francisco. \nSPEAKERS \nJennifer Doleac\, Executive Vice President of Criminal Justice\, Arnold Ventures; Author\, The Science of Second Chances: A Revolution in Criminal Justice \nModerator TBA \n5 p.m. doors open & check-in5:30–6:30 p.m. program6:30 p.m. book signing & wine reception(all times Pacific Time) \nThis program is supported by the Ken & Jaclyn Broad Family Fund. \nPhoto by Ling Wang Photography; courtesy the speaker.
