The Science of Second Chances with Dr. Jennifer Doleac, PhD

Dr. Jennifer Doleac is not just hopeful, she’s optimistic that second chances are possible for the justice-involved population and the system as a whole. Join us for a talk where she discusses her powerful approach to reducing crime and incarceration based on cutting-edge economic research and real-world experiments. This work demonstrates that we can have both public safety and a smaller, less intrusive justice system. By shifting focus from the enormity of the problem to the power of small, evidence-based changes, she offers a transformative approach to prosecution and punishment.
