On this edition of Your Call, we're discussing District Attorney races across the country. Progressive prosecutors are pursuing policies to reduce sentences, divert people from jail, eliminate cash bail and more aggressively prosecute police for misconduct. Several reform DAs are facing Republicans who say these policies cause crime and make communities more dangerous. Republicans and their supporters have spent over $60M on ads blaming Democrats for high crime and their claims are getting endless media attention. What do the facts say? A team of seven academic researchers studied data on recorded crime from 65 major cities and found homicides increased less rapidly in cities with progressive prosecutors than in those with traditional DAs. Guests: Christine Soto Deberry, founder and executive director of the Prosecutors Alliance of California Miriam Aroni Krinsky, executive director of the Fair and Just Prosecution Akhi Johnson, director of the Reshaping Prosecution Initiative at the Vera Institute
