Abstract

Prosecutors have the power to practically address some of the problems facing the American judicial system. Belén Lowrey-Kinberg, Rachel Bowman, and Jon Gould argue that screening cases with an on-call prosecutor before an arrest takes place can save counties money, prevent innocent people from spending time in jail, and allow resources to be devoted more efficiently in other areas of policing. Through a broader implementation of pre-arrest screening practices, police departments can work towards building a justice system that is more racially and socially fair.
