that she was elected on a campaign of criminal justice reform. >> if you go today to alameda county juvenile hall, you will only find black and brown children there. and there's a lot of reasons for that. but one of the challenges is that i have taken on and that i believe i was elected to take on as district attorney is to eradicate the racial disparities . >> da price says she's been reviewing county charging practices such as doing away with enhancements, which she says. alameda county voters want as well enhance. >> agents have been shown to be racially biased and applied in a racially biased way, and enhancements as nationally as people have looked at enhancements, they do not find that the longer sentence actually deters crime. >> da price says she wants to make it clear that reducing enhancements or special circumstances, such as in the case of jasper wu doesn't mean crimes are going unpunished. jasper woox is the child who was

killed by stray bullets on i-80 . the wu family has raised concerns about da price's sentencing when the media said she dropped the special circumstances that that part was true. >> but what they did not say was that we never dropped the gun or the gang enhancements. >> the two men charged with murder in the case each faced more than 150 years behind bars . but concerns about sentencing have led to a recall effort. >> we know that the people who lost the election didn't want us to be here. we challenged and defeated the status quo. and so, yes, i'm very much a target. >> da price says they're currently reviewing 2500 cases that are eligible for re sentencing under the new california racial justice act. and she says they will continue to press ahead. >> i'm just proud of the job that we walked in here with. no support, no transition plan, no soft landing. and yet we've managed to thrive. and a price will continue to participate in
