The Arizona Republic reported that about 1 in 5 Arizonans are ready to dine out and even fewer are immediately ready to go back to the gym or watch a movie in theaters, according to a new ASU Morrison Institute-Arizona Republic poll.

The results, like many polls, show splits between Democrats and Republicans, men and woman and people of different ethnicity, education levels, income and age.

Arizona State University's School of Criminology and Criminal Justice, School of Social Work, and Morrison Institute for Public Policy hosted a virtual roundtable conversation on April 16, 2020, to discuss how COVID-19 is affecting police work. This discussion was scheduled as a special session of an ASU “Introduction to Criminal Justice” class taught by Professor Jesse Weins.

Efforts to deal with that in the legislature this year have come up dry.
