Watch our July webinar, Facts, Fear, and Safety: Understanding Crime Trends & Perceptions. Too often, discussion of crime is divorced from facts and data, which can mean that prosecutors can lack important context in understanding crime and public safety. Our discussion looks at recent crime data to explore crime trends and changes and explores what has driven these trends.

In addition, our expert panelists discuss the disconnect between public perception of crime and what the data tells us. How does the media–including social media–impact perceptions of public safety? How should prosecutors think about the disparities between how people feel and what the data reflects?

Our panel lays out the most up-to-date facts about crime trends across the country, takes a detailed look at the complexities across misdemeanor and felony data, and discusses how stakeholders can craft effective public safety responses based on facts rather than fear.
