Marc Mauer at Baruch College School of Public Affairs:
“The Changing Climate of Criminal Justice Reform”
Please join Marc Mauer, the Executive Director of The Sentencing Project, at Baruch College for the Fall 2015 Ackerman Lecture, a lecture series on equality and justice hosted by the School of Public Affairs.
The lecture will examine how and why the criminal justice reform movement has evolved in recent years, and what changes in policy and practice are still necessary if we seek to end mass incarceration in the United States. The event is free and open to the public.
Marc Mauer is one of the country’s leading experts on sentencing policy, race and the criminal justice system. He has directed programs on criminal justice policy reform for 30 years, and is the author of some of the most widely-cited reports and publications in the field. The Atlantic magazine has described him as a scholar who has “reframed how Americans view crime, race, and poverty in the public sphere.”
