The Power of Parsimony
The title of this post is the title of this notable new report authored by Daryl Atkinson and Jeremy Travis as part of Columbia University’s Square One Project. The whole report looks like a must-read, and here is the start and close of its introduction:

In this paper we propose that the principle of parsimony if re-considered while recognizing the historical racist underpinnings of the American criminal legal system can provide a framework that serves as both critique of that history and an elevating aspiration for a reimagined approach to justice.

“From what we have seen so far you couldn’t be happier. He has moved well on the track and picked up well up the straight there. Visually, I don’t think you could be any happier with what we saw really.
