"This report from the NYU Center on the Administration of Criminal Law provides concrete recommendations that prosecutors can implement in order to focus on reentry and target the risk of recidivism.

Other reforms discussed include how a prosecutor can use his or her power to engage diverse groups of stakeholders in outreach and education initiatives."
