An emotional look back at justice reforms for Malloy, Lawlor

In an emotional final meeting of the commission that oversees criminal justice reform, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and his top crime policy aide, Mike Lawlor, touted the biggest accomplishments of the last eight years on Thursday — overall reductions in violent crime, arrests and prison populations. While these changes have led to the state’s reputation as a national leader on crime and corrections reform, Lawlor noted those who work in the system aren’t quick to brag about the successes. That’s partly because there is still so far to go. But both he and Malloy expressed optimism in the upcoming tenure of Gov.-elect Ned Lamont.
