Important thread about universities and centers. Deeply disappointed to see this, as @HLS_CJPP has done important work over a number of years, including its recently issued report on Racial Disparities in the MA Criminal System. cjpp.law.harvard.edu/assets/Massach…

The authors at @HLS_CJPP go to great lengths to reveal that the Commonwealth makes it nearly impossible to pinpoint when and where the law — and those who enforce it — are failing to provide equal treatment. buff.ly/32GTmGJ

The report found stark disparities btw white and Black/Latinx people in Massachusetts’s criminal law system. Black people are 6.5% of Mass population but comprise 17.1% of criminal cases. Latinx people are 8.7% of Mass pop but comprise 18.3% of cases. See chart below. 4/6
