NYU Wagner and the NYU Urban Initiative present a series of virtual “WAGTalks” addressing a variety of socio-political and historical perspectives related to the current COVID crisis. These discussions will feature faculty and scholars from across NYU speaking on critical aspects of the pandemic, followed by Q&A.
Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, many have expressed concern about the welfare of prison and jail inmates. Yet real-time data on inmates is virtually nonexistent. Professor of Politics Anna Harvey, Director of NYU’s Public Safety Lab, will discuss her lab’s work to provide daily data on county jail populations during the pandemic.
