LWVPA Criminal Justice Study

January 19, 2016

PACorrectionsSpendingAt the 2015 League Convention in Pittsburgh, the delegates approved a state-wide study of the criminal justice system. A state-wide committee was formed in August, and the members have been hard at work since that time. 

The issues are incredibly complex, and the committee has tried to bring together the most important information related to the elements of the study that was approved. The resulting Study Guide and Consensus Questions are evidence of their hard work.

Because of the length and the complexity of the study, we suggest that local committees divide the materials into parts, present each section to local League members, and decide on the consensus questions related to that section. This will probably require at least two meetings to really address all the questions.
