The internationally renowned Berkeley Law School has a new hire: a man who made national headlines last year.
His critics slammed him for being soft on crime, saying his progressive reforms were too lenient, making San Francisco less safe."We have got to continue to do work that is informed by science, and by evidence. We have got to be principled, even in the face of often public discourse that is hostile, that is disrespectful. And, that is trying move us backwards to failed policies.," he said.
Boudin believes support for progressive policies continues to grow. He adds, never say never, but for now, he's not interested reelection."One of the reasons I decided not to run for re-election was because I was frustrated with the extent to which public policy is devoid of often facts, evidence, even short term memory. It seems like we are chasing our tale in public office, all too often," he said.
Boudin says his new path is still one that allows him to stay committed to criminal justice reform by coming up with data-driven solutions to public safety challenges. "We can debate which policies are better, and which feel better to us. But we have got to do the work. And that's why I'm so excited about here at Berkeley Law, to be able to dig in and actually look at big picture data, over time, between counties, across states, and analyze 'Are some counties doing better than others?'" says Boudin. "And if so, how do we spread the love and make sure that everybody can follow their lead.
