The Criminal Justice Conversations with David Onek

GroupAccount image

The Criminal Justice Conversations Podcast, a co-production of Berkeley Law School and the Berkeley School of Journalism, features in-depth, thirty-minute interviews with a wide range of criminal justice leaders: law enforcement officials, policymakers, advocates, service providers, academics and others. 

The Podcast, hosted by criminal justice expert David Onek, gets behind the sound bites that far too often dominate the public dialogue about criminal justice, to have detailed, nuanced conversations about criminal justice policy.
