California Prop 25 on the ballot this election replaces cash bails with a risk assessment scoring system based on Senate Bill 10: https://policylab.stanford.edu/media/improving-california-bail.pdf https://policylab.stanford.edu/media/improving-california-ba... Note the flaws in its design that could replace the existing system with one that has potentially worse biases.

It looks like you have linked a paper proposing an improvement to SB10 that is unrelated to Prop 25, was this intentional?

  After SB10 was passed by the legislature, the opposition (mostly bail bond companies?) gathered enough signatures to force a "veto referendum", i.e. a referendum on whether SB10 should be adopted as the legislature had voted, or should be dropped. That referendum is Prop 25. Edit: Parent is right, the link is to a different issue.

    Yeah, what does that have to do with the paper the parent linked?
    - tom-_- 6y ago
      Prop 25 upholds SB 10. This paper suggests improvements to SB10 based on potential biases in its design.

        I got it. It just seemed like from the phrasing of your post that a link to the description of Prop 25 would have made more sense.

        The description of Prop 25 doesn't include any details about the risk assessment model. This is the only doc I've found that does.
