Steven D. Levitt’s Criminal Law Papers - Cutting-edge theories on criminal law cause and
effect. Steven D. Levitt is the Alvin H. Baum Professor in Economics at the University of
Chicago, where he is also director of The Becker Center on Chicago Price Theory. In 2004,
he was awarded the John Bates Clark Medal, which recognizes the most influential
economist in America under the age of 40. He also co-authored the book Freakonomics.

The Innocence Project was established in 1992 at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law
by civil rights attorneys Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld and is dedicated to exonerating the
innocent through post-conviction DNA testing. Since its inception, more than 190 people in
the United States have been exonerated, including 14 who were at one time sentenced to
death. In many of these DNA exonerations, the Innocence Project either was the attorney
of record or consulted with the defendant's attorneys. This unique combination of science,
law, and social justice has created a cohesive and powerful program for individual freedom
and policy reform. http://www.innocenceproject.org/
Center For Court Innovation - Founded as a public/private partnership between the New
York State Unified Court System and the Fund for the City of New York, the Center for Court
Innovation is a non-profit think tank that helps courts and criminal justice agencies aid
victims, reduce crime and improve public trust in justice. The Center creates new programs
that test innovative approaches to public safety problems. Underlying this work is the
concept of problem-solving justice—the idea that, rather than simply processing cases, the
justice system should seek to change the behavior of offenders and improve public safety.
While the Center's model projects cover a broad range of topics—from juvenile delinquency
to the reentry of ex-offenders into society—the approach is always the same: rigorous,
collaborative planning and an emphasis on using data to document results and ensure
accountability. The Center's projects have achieved tangible results like safer streets,
reduced levels of fear, and improved neighborhood quality of life.
