The Economics of Crime and Incarceration
Panelists include Eric Sterling '73, Executive Director of the Criminal Justice
Policy Foundation and Mark Kleiman '72, Director of the Crime and
Justice Program at New York University’s Marron Institute of Urban
Management of NYU. Brianna Groh '15 of Aberdeen Asset Management will moderate.
These two experts on crime in the US will discuss the repercussions
of our current criminal justice system which criminalizes the use, possession,
manufacture and distribution of recreational and addictive drugs and which has
resulted in homicide and incarceration rates often many times higher than those
same rates in other developed countries. They will then speculate on ways to
change the system so we can reduce the prisoner headcount while also protecting
public safety and preserving neighborhood vitality.
A wine/cheese reception immediately follows the talk, KINSC Rotunda.
This event it co-sponsored by the CPGC and Economics Department
