Abstract
The killing of George Floyd by law enforcement in 2020 became a catalyst for fundamental change in the justice system, including police accountability and progressive prosecution. That moment of brutality prompted broad-based, intergenerational uprisings across the country even in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Protesters demanded a fundamental rethinking of justice and a reckoning on the ways that race distorts the experience of justice. Against that backdrop, Progressive Prosecution: Race and Reform in Criminal Justice lays out an important new vision of prosecution: prosecutors must redefine the future of the criminal justice system. This vision is unapologetically ambitious. And the need is clear. Recent data reveals that one in two adults has had an immediate family member incarcerated. The generational effects, family disruption, and community destruction of that reality are just beginning to be understood. But the urgency of dismantling the current system and building a more just alternative has never been clearer. The chapters taken individually and collectively build a compelling case for adopting a new race-conscious vision of prosecution to create safer communities and a fairer experience of justice.
