Evaluation of Prosecutorial Policy Reforms Eliminating Criminal Penalties for Drug Possession and Sex Work in Baltimore, Maryland
This seems counter intuitive. Drug crimes and prostitution are notorious for high recidivism rates. Now to say that after a drug or prostitution arrest then not to prosecute will lower recidivism? This is questionable. I haven’t read this report yet but my first instinct is that this is hard to believe.
