📉NEW RESEARCH from the nonpartisan California Policy Lab shows that criminal justice policy reforms enacted during the past two decades have led to substantial reductions in racial and ethnic disparities in prison incarceration in California 🧵 (1/7): capolicylab.org/racial-and-eth…

A slide titled "Key Findings" stating: "The groups with the highest starting rates saw the biggest drops. The Black incarceration rate fell from 2,266 to 1,179 per 100,000 residents, while the White rate fell from 288 to 139." Below is a line chart titled "Incarceration rates by race/ethnicity: Prison inmates per 100,000 Californians (2005-2024)" showing five lines for Black, American Indian, Hispanic, White, and Asian/Pacific Islander Californians. The Black incarceration rate starts highest at over 2,000 per 100,000 and declines sharply after three marked policy reforms (October 2011, November 2014, and March 2020), ending below 1,200. The American Indian rate follows a similar declining pattern starting around 1,200. Hispanic, White, and Asian/Pacific Islander rates remain much lower and relatively flat throughout, clustered near the bottom of the chart.

"California Policy Lab research found San Francisco Bay Area movers landed in neighborhoods where home values were about 50% lower than those they left, and became homeowners at higher rates."
