Expert Spotlight

Jaspal Bhatia

In his Q&A, he discusses common misconceptions about our justice system, goals for the AIR Opportunity Fund's justice portfolio, and how creating access to education, health care, and meaningful jobs can do more for public safety than heightened police presence and incarceration.
