The ACAB Report is Now The Carceral Report

A note on our name change.

Dear readers,

Last week, I thought a lot about what it could mean for sources, especially vulnerable ones, and organizations, to be affiliated with a publication called The ACAB Report.

Would it be used against an interview subject in a court hearing as evidence that they hate cops? Would it hurt someone running a progressive primary challenge? Would organizations decline to provide statements or interviews because they don’t believe ACAB? Would an interview subject feel duped because they didn’t know what ACAB means and now they’re affiliated with something they don’t agree with?

As the week went on and I thought more about it, I decided I’d be most comfortable with changing the name.

And so I introduce to you The Carceral Report. Same reporting. Different name. Less anxiety for yours truly. :) (Just kidding, I always have anxiety about something.)

Thanks again for reading.
