Landmark Legislative Reforms in 2007
Many criminal justice bills passed in 2007 were just signed into law by Governor Perry, marking a major turning point in how Texas approaches crime and punishment, particularly for low-level, non-violent offenders.  Several new laws better focus incarceration resources on more dangerous criminals instead of non-violent offenders. That makes everyone safer and tempers Texas’ “tough on crime” approach with wisdom and fiscal common sense.
