When I became attorney general, I could look at the system as a whole,
后來我成為司法部長，我可以全面的觀察整個司法系統，
and what surprised me is that I found that that was exactly how we were doing it across the entire system,
令人吃驚的是我發現我們的這種做法恰恰適用于整個司法系統，
in police departments, in prosecutors's offices, in courts and in jails.
包括警察部門，檢察官辦公室，法庭和監獄。
And what I learned very quickly is that we weren't doing a good job. So I wanted to do things differently.
很快，我了解到我們過去的工作成果并不令人滿意。所以我想做些改變。
I wanted to introduce data and analytics and rigorous statistical analysis into our work.
我想將數據、邏輯分析和嚴格的統計分析納入到我們的工作。
In short, I wanted to moneyball criminal justice. Now, moneyball, as many of you know, is what the Oakland A's did,
總之，我想在刑事司法上做到點球成金。正如大家所知，點球成金，是奧克蘭運動家棒球隊的方法，
where they used smart data and statistics to figure out how to pick players that would help them win games,
他們使用了智能數據和統計學找出如何挑選球員的辦法，這將有助于他們贏得比賽，
and they went from a system that was based on baseball scouts who used to go out and watch players
依據一個由棒球偵查員組成的系統，頻繁地觀察他們球員的表現，
and use their instinct and experience, the scouts'instincts and experience, to pick players,
利用他們的直覺和經驗，偵查員的直覺和經驗，挑選球員，
from one to use smart data and rigorous statistical analysis to figure out how to pick players that would help them win games.
通過使用智能數據和嚴格的統計分析找出挑選球員的辦法，這會幫助他們贏得比賽。
It worked for the Oakland A's, and it worked in the state of New Jersey.
奧克蘭運動家棒球隊就是這樣運作的，這對新澤西州也是適用的。
We took Camden off the top of the list as the most dangerous city in America.
我們已經將卡姆登從美國最危險的城市的名單中剔除。
We reduced murders there by 41 percent, which actually means 37 lives were saved.
我們減少了41%的謀殺率，實際上相當于拯救了37條生命。
And we reduced all crime in the city by 26 percent. We also changed the way we did criminal prosecutions.
整個城市的犯罪行為減少了26%。我們也改變了刑事訴訟的工作方式。
So we went from doing low-level drug crimes that were outside our building to doing cases of statewide importance,
所以我們從調查發生在辦公大樓外面的低級毒品犯罪案件轉移到調查全州范圍內的重要案件，
on things like reducing violence with the most violent offenders, prosecuting street gangs, gun and drug trafficking, and political corruption.
比如減少暴力罪犯的暴力行為，起訴街頭幫派，槍支和毒品的不法交易，還有政治腐敗。
