Albany Law School Criminal Law professor Michael Wetmore wrote an op-ed for Newsday addressing concerns about random violence against women in New York City subways and streets, proposing refinements to bail reform that would allow judges to consider public safety risks. His recommendations aim to improve safety outcomes while preserving the reform’s progress in reducing racial bias and unnecessary pretrial detention.
