Notable alum Anthony Braga ('97) pens outstanding piece in City Journal, "Policing as Public Health." He says policymakers profess deep commitment to public health & apply concept to problem of violent city crime. While they may be well-intentioned, they ignore hard truth. rscj.newark.rutgers.edu

SCJ's own Prof Alejandro Gimenez Santana was recently featured in an article commending the City of Newark's exceptional use of data to reduce crime.
This approach has resulted in a 25% decrease in homicides, a 36% cut in auto thefts, and 55% fewer “hotspots.”
