It's good that wasteful spending & questions about effectiveness are addressed in this NPR @meg_anders piece, but unfortunate that misperceptions of school gun violence risk are not. The school shooting industry is worth billions — and it keeps growing npr.org/2025/09/08/nx-…

Kudos to @meg_anders of @NPR for her excellent story on efforts to ban deception during Interrogations of minors. Many of these laws were inspired by Brendan Dassey & other false confession cases of youthful suspects. wprl.org/npr-news/2024-… @LauraNirider

Here's an earlier story from @meg_anders on an even more important reform to protect youth during interrogations. Give them lawyers. Several states have enacted these laws but pushback by law enforcement has been stronger than it's been with deception. npr.org/2024/08/29/nx-…

There are a slew of state-level criminal justice ballot measures coming up in the November election: legalizing some drugs, increasing penalties for others, and boosting pay and incentives for police are among the proposed changes. @meg_anders @NPR buff.ly/3O89jwx

At the #RNC2024 in Milwaukee last night, Republicans promised to “make America safe once again.” They say crime is up nationwide. They linked it to immigration. But, is it true? @meg_anders and I did some fact-checking on @MorningEdition: npr.org/2024/07/17/nx-…

Since the start of the year, hundreds of people have sued in Illinois, Maryland, New York and New Jersey, saying they were sexually abused in juvenile detention. And last week, the DOJ announced an investigation into Kentucky youth detention facilities. npr.org/2024/05/17/125…
