💨 Abstract

The U.S. Department of Justice has launched an investigation into the prosecutor's office in Minnesota's most populous county, focusing on allegations that the office considers racial disparities when negotiating plea deals. The investigation was triggered by a new policy adopted by the county attorney that directs prosecutors to consider the "whole person, including their racial identity and age," as part of their overall analysis.
