Research by our Faculty Dir. Sandra Susan Smith & @CierraRobson published last fall shows the well-documented harms of pretrial electronic monitoring. Their research was conducted with participants in San Francisco, but the findings translate across jurisdictions. #PretrialEMinSF

Since 2018, pretrial electronic monitoring in San Francisco has increased dramatically. @sandrassmith5 & @CierraRobson of @HarvardMWC @HKS_PCJ write about how some reforms can extend the criminal system – and acutely impact the system’s most marginalized.

The rise of pretrial e-carceration in San Francisco has created a new class of people for whom freedom remains elusive.

New working paper on Pretrial Electronic Monitoring in San Francisco out today!
Building on existing research, Smith & co-author @CierraRobson conducted in-depth, semi-structured interviews with 66 people ordered by judges to undergo pretrial EM in San Francisco, to understand lived experiences with this substantial pretrial sanction. https://t.co/9T7Uld9y35

Thanks to @CierraRobson and @ruha9 at @PrincetonAAS for making the case that current laws against well-known anticompetitive practices that only protect against de jure racism are not enough to ensure racial equity in Big Tech. https://t.co/vnV6isoCwp
