Rounding up some good midweek reads
A busy week amid weather warnings means not enough blog time and too much to read. So, making up for lost time, here is a round-up of some of what I have been reading:
From the ABA Journal, “Inmate’s life sentence spurs him to push for felony murder reform“
From The American Prospect, “Michelle Childs’s Punitive Criminal Justice Rulings Were Repeatedly Overturned“
From The Atlantic, “The Other Speed Trap: America’s traffic laws hurt the poor, and don’t really deter anyone. But what if traffic fines scaled with income?”
From CNN, “We need to understand America’s spike in murders“
From MarketWatch, “Tough-on-crime laws and mass incarceration waste tax dollars and don’t make us any safer“
From Slate, “9-Year-Olds Are Being Forced to Register as Sex Offenders. That Might Finally Change.”
From The Washington Post, “Biden’s Supreme Court nominee should be a criminal defense lawyer“
