Do policies built around social and behavioral science research actually work? That's a big, and contentious, question. It's also almost an existential question for the disciplines involved. It's also a question that Megan Stevenson, a professor of law and of economics at the University of Virginia School of Law, grapples with as she explores how well randomized control trials can predict the real-world efficacy of interventions in criminal justice. What she's found so far in that particular niche has echoed across the research establishment. As she writes in the abstract of an article she saw published in the Boston University Law Review: "This Essay is built around a central empirical claim: that most reforms and interventions in the criminal legal space are shown to have little lasting effect when evaluated with gold standard methods. While this might be disappointing from the perspective of someone hoping to learn what levers to pull to achieve change, I argue that this teaches us something valuable about the structure of the social world. When it comes to the type of limited-scope interventions that lend themselves to high-quality evaluation, social change is hard to engineer. Stabilizing forces push people back towards the path they would have been on absent the intervention. Cascades—small interventions that lead to large and lasting changes—are rare. And causal processes are complex and context-dependent, meaning that a success achieved in one setting may not port well to another." In this Social Science Bites podcast, Stevenson tells interviewer David Edmonds that “the paper is not saying ‘nothing works ever.' It's saying nothing works among this subset of interventions, and interventions, as we talked about, are the type of interventions that get studied by randomized control trials tend to be pretty limited in scope. You can randomly allocate money, but you can't randomly allocate class or socioeconomic status.” Despite this cautionary finding in her research. Stevenson hasn't despaired about her career choice or that of other social and behavioral scientists. “Many of us are in this line of work because we care about the world,” she notes. “We want to make the world a better place. We want to think about the best way to do it. And this is valuable information along that path. It's valuable information in that it shuts some doors. … So keep trying other doors, keep experimenting.”

Would you rather spend a day in jail or be the victim of a burglary? UVA Law professor Megan Stevenson discusses why her research suggests almost no one should be detained pretrial.

In this episode, Megan T. Stevenson, Assistant Professor of Law at George Mason University Antonin Scalia Law School, discusses her article "Algorithmic Risk Assessment in the Hands of Humans," which she co-authored with Jennifer L. Doleac. Stevenson begins by explaining how and why courts traditionally sentenced criminal defendants, focusing on the goal of incapacitation, which requires an assessment of the risk of recidivism. She observes that algorithmic risk assessment promises to make incapacitation more efficient, but notes many potential concern. She describes the empirical study of Virginia's program she conducted with Doleac, and observes that judges seem to depart from the algorithm's recommendations, especially for young defendants. She also observes that judges unexpectedly imposed lighter sentences on low-risk sex offenders. Stevenson is on Twitter at @MeganTStevenson.This episode was hosted by Brian L.

How many innocent people should we be allowed to arrest and jail in order to prevent a single dangerous person from being free? The Supreme Court has refused to answer this question, but algorithms have, and many courts across the country are going with the algorithm. At different stages of the criminal justice system, computerized risk-assessment algorithms are slowly replacing bail hearings in determining who goes to jail and who goes free. This is widely seen as progressive reform, but may in fact be leading to more incarceration, not less. While many are warning that these algorithms are biased, racist, or based on bad data, the real problems are in fact much deeper, and even harder to solve. Guest voices include Megan Stevenson, John Ralphling, Renee Bolinger, Georgi Gardiner, and Seth Lazar.
