Episode No. 75- "All Hat and No Cattle" Digging Into Pseudo-Studies Issued by Activist Groups with Guest Eric Granof

How do you navigate the space in the bail reform debate when law enforcement and activists seem to be arguing contrary positions.  One example is the debate over defunding the police.  A study that was highlighted on Episode No. 71 of our podcast demonstrated that defunding the police increases crime immediately not only in the area that the police are removed from but the surrounding area as well.   Also, taking the police out of the community resulted in litigation that resulted in judgments against the city totaling over $32 million dollars.Nevertheless, activists continue to argue that defunding the police will actually make communities safer.How do we navigate between these two positions.  When activists have flooded google with pseudo studies that defy common sense how do we debunk them and find the real science?This is the subject of this episode of The Bail Post.
