The intertwining of politics and criminal justice has a long history. This connection began during the Civil Rights era (Lerman & Weaver, 2014). Throughout the 1960s, rising crime rates became alarming. With support from the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration, police departments documented crime rates more consistently. Underreporting of crime dropped for most offense types (Weaver, 2007). The possibility of federal funding may have even prompted agencies to inflate their crime figures.

With apparent growing crime rates, politicians recast criminal justice reform as a priority. Many politicians became champions of restoring "law and order" (Tonry, 2011). These calls especially won favor among Republicans and Southern Democrats (Edsall & Edsall, 1991). Criminal justice policymaking proliferated following the election of tough-on-crime politicians.
