Rounding up a few post-election accountings and commentary on the crime and justice front

I did a number of pre-election posts with a round-up of news and commentary focused on criminal justice policy and politics as the 2022 voting approached (see here and here and here).  It now seems only fitting to do a (first?) post-election round-up of news and commentary as we get closer to all the 2022 mid-term votes being counted:

From The Appeal, “Midterm Elections Deliver Some Good News For Criminal Legal Reform“

From The Crime Report, “Crime and the Midterms“

From Democracy Now!, “Progressive Prosecutors Win Key Races Despite GOP Attacks on Criminal Justice Reform“

From the New York Times, “For Republicans, Crime Pays, No Matter What Else Happens“

From Reason, “The Crime Backlash Mostly Failed To Materialize on Election Night“

From the Washington Post, “How Democrats can win back trust on the issue of crime“

UPDATE:  I now have seen some more pieces in this vein since my initial posting:

From The Appeal, “Voters Didn’t Buy The ‘Crime Panic’ Narrative. Democrats Should Take Note.“

From BuzzFeed News, “Progressive Prosecutors Won In Midterm Elections Across The US In Spite Of Tough-On-Crime Rhetoric From Republicans“

From Mother Jones, “Republicans Hoped a ‘Crime Wave’ Was Their Ticket to a Red Wave. It Wasn’t.“

From Religion Unplugged, “Recreational Marijuana Use Becomes New Front In The Culture Wars Following Midterms“

From Vera Action, “As Voters Reject Crime Scare Tactics in the 2022 Midterms, Democrats Must Seize the Opportunity for a New Path Forward on Safety and Justice“

From The Watch (Randy Balko), “What the midterms told us about voters and crime“
