Abstract/Description

This Division of Experimental Criminology sponsored panel showcases the work of division members who are using a variety of experimental methodologies – including synthetic control models, field experiments, and survey experiments – to explore critical issues in criminal justice. Presentations examine the impact of supervised consumption sites on crime, access to indigent defense on court outcomes, the use of AI to review police body-worn camera footage, public opinion about gang control policies, and the influence of data visualization on police leaders’ decision-making. These presentations collectively underscore the utility of experimental methods for advancing evidence-based policy and practice.
