Bail Reform in Chicago Appears to Have Increased Crime
A reanalysis of data from the Cook County courts suggests that as more defendants were released before trial, more crimes resulted

Paul Cassell |The Volokh Conspiracy | 2.19.2020 12:25 PM

In a study posted on SSRN today, my colleague Professor Richard Fowles and I explore the public safety implications of recent Cook County bail reforms.  We review the Cook County Chief Judge's study of these reforms, which sanguinely asserted that as more defendants were released pretrial no additional crimes resulted.  We believe that, properly assessed, the study's own data suggests a significant increase in crimes as a result of the changes.  Our conclusions may have broader implications about the public safety dangers of bail reform.

I'm shocked! Shocked!

In other news, it is predicted that the sun will rise again tomorrow in the east.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Gee, I.... thought that was the whole point.... to give da criminals a break... thereby increasing their 'paychecks'.   What's the problem?  That they can't all vote Democrat yet?

More crime means more excuses to "clamp down" and "get tough" with new laws which only affect people who weren't criminals.  Never let a crisis go to waste...

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
