The most recent report reviews 2017 incarceration data in the context of historical data going back to 1997, and makes recommendations that, if adopted, should help identify and potentially reduce areas where Blacks are over-represented in criminal cases pursued or in sentencing outcomes.
#BLM B-town is using this data to formulate our plans and project in an attempt to hold the local police accountable, create reform and invoke oversight.
