Professor Gouldin Combats Misinformation

Lauryn Gouldin, Crandall Melvin Associate Professor of Law and Director, Syracuse Civics Initiative at the Law School, was quoted by The Associated Press for the series, “Not Real News:  A look at what didn’t happen this week,” a news roundup by the AP to combat misinformation. In the article, Gouldin clears up the claim that Illinois’ SAFE-T Act no longer puts violent criminals in custody before trial. She states, “Suspects can still be jailed pretrial if they are considered a public safety risk or likely to flee to avoid criminal prosecution.”
