Cincinnati was in the national spotlight last summer after video of a Downtown brawl went viral.

At the time, the city’s police chief said a “revolving door of justice” contributed to Cincinnati’s crime problem.

So, how does the criminal justice system work in Hamilton County?

On Cincinnati Edition, we talk with the county prosecutor and a public defender about their work and roles in the system and rates of recidivism.

Guests:

  • Hamilton County Prosecutor Connie Pillich
  • Angela Chang, director, Hamilton County Public Defender Youth Defense Division
