Rounding up some press pieces discussing the 2024 election and criminal justice matters

As we head into the final homestretch this election season, I have posted on a few topics related to Election 2024 ranging from felon disenfranchisement (here and here) to the political perspective of incarcerated persons (here) to the ACLU’s take on what the candidates for Prez could mean for criminal justice systems (here and here) to notable ballot initiative in California and in Colorado.  There are, of course, too many other issues at the intersection of a big election and our big criminal justice systems to cover fully in this space, and I will seek to canvass some notable ground witha round up of notable press pieces that caught my eye in recent weeks:

From Bolts, “The 33 Prosecutor and Sheriff Elections that Matter to Criminal Justice in November“

From The Conversation, “On crime and justice, Trump and Harris records differ widely“

From FWD.us, “New Polling Shows Criminal Justice Reform is a Winning Issue for 2024 Election“

From PsyPost, “National politics now a key factor in local prosecutor election outcomes“

From The Source, “REFORM Alliance Highlights Justice Reform as Key Issue for Gen Z Voters“
