Professor Anna VanCleave co-authored an op-ed in CT Mirror discussing the push to expand parole eligibility for individuals who have committed crimes as young adults and the scientific basis supporting it.

VanCleave was also asked to comment on House Bill 5306 and its rigorous evidentiary standards. The bill, if passed, would allow judges to reduce sentences for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, or human trafficing if that abuse contributed to their crime.
