Former Fellow Udi Ofer (’01) wrote an article for the Center on Media, Crime and Justice at John Jay College’s Crime Report calling for legislators to revisit and reform the policies enshrined in the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act (“A ‘Destructive’ Climate Fostered the 25-Year-Old Crime Act.
