Monetary Sanctions in the Criminal Legal System

Monetary sanctions are the fees, fines, and other costs that stem from individuals making contact with the criminal legal system. These costs can worsen existing financial inequalities and can have impacts that affect not just the individual subject to the sanctions, but that person’s family and community as well. This webinar features presentations from five researchers who contributed to two recent issues of RSF: The Russell Sage Foundation Journal of the Social Sciences: Alexes Harris introduces the topic of monetary sanctions Robert Stewart discusses a study on Native Americans and monetary sanctions in Minnesota Kate O’Neill talks about local dependence on fines and fees as a revenue source and connections with women’s incarceration Daniel Boches reviews a study on how monetary sanctions may harm people beyond the individual subject to the sanctions Brittany Friedman discusses how fines and fees fit within broader policy contexts
