Signs outside of the South Windsor Police Department encourage residents to lock their cars at night.

All summer long, we heard about spiking crime rates, stolen cars and a failed juvenile justice system, but what do the numbers show? And what do those who actually work with juvenile offenders think is happening? Has the pandemic had any affect on the juvenile justice system?

This half hour radio special explores these issues through reporting from ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø's Accountability Project.

Walter Smith Randolph is ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø’s Investigative Editor. In 2021, Walter launched The Accountability Project, CT Public’s investigative reporting initiative. Since then, the team’s reporting has led to policy changes across the state. Additionally, The Accountability Project’s work has been honored with a National Edward R. Murrow award from RTDNA, two regional Murrow awards, a national Sigma Delta Chi award from the Society of Professional Journalists, three regional EMMY nominations and a dozen CT SPJ awards.
Jacqueline Rabe Thomas was an investigative reporter with ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø’s Accountability Project from July 2021 until August 2022.
Jim Haddadin is an editor for The Accountability Project, ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø's investigative reporting team. He was previously an investigative producer at NBC Boston, and wrote for newspapers in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
