Welcome to De Jure, a criminal justice podcast. In this episode, Addison will be discussing the impacts of sentencing disparities.Sentencing disparities occur when individuals who commit similar crimes receive different sentences based on factors such as race, gender, or socioeconomic status. This can result in unequal treatment under the law and perpetuate systemic injustice within the criminal justice system.To gain a better understanding of this issue, Addison will speak with special guests Ella Siegel, Nishanka Kuthuru, Saniya Friendly, Anna Henderson, and Harshini Anand, as well as advocates who are working to address sentencing disparities. Join us for this important conversation on sentencing disparities and their impact on our criminal justice system.
