Franklin Zimring cited in San Francisco Chronicle, April 21, 2013
Zimring, a professor of law at the UC Berkeley School of Law, has offered an inside look at the effectiveness of public policy as enshrined in our laws. His 2012 book, “The City That Became Safe,” chronicled how New York City cut its crime rate by 80 percent. How? Effective policing. He’s looked at the causes of gun violence (too many guns on the street) and the roots of American capital punishment.
