Provides compelling and manageable solutions for how to reform the
criminal justice system from the inside out A racial reckoning in
the US criminal justice system was long overdue well before the
highly publicized murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and many
others in 2020. Progressive Prosecution argues that prosecutors,
having helped build our failed system of mass incarceration, must
now lead the charge to dismantle it. With contributions from
practicing district attorneys as well as leading scholars in the
fields of law and criminal justice, Taylor-Thompson and Thompson's
volume offers an unapologetically ambitious vision for reform. The
contributors draw from empirical evidence and years of combined
research experience to argue that change must happen at the local
level, with prosecutors choosing to adopt race-conscious
approaches. These prosecutors must do the hard work themselves,
actively focusing on the ways that race misshapes perceptions of
criminality, influences discretionary calls, affects how we select
juries, and induces a reliance on punitive responses. Progressive
Prosecution acts as both a call to action and a practical guide,
instructing prosecutors on what they need to do to bring about
lasting and meaningful change. Progressive Prosecution is an urgent
work of scholarship, a must-read for anyone committed to racial
equity and meaningful criminal justice reform.
