As our country comes to terms with the damage caused by our excessive reliance on punishment as a response to crime, the use of the criminal law to sustain racial hierarchies, and the ways the justice system has undermined our democracy and weakened communities,
“Excessive reliance on punishment” vs no punishment - is causing blatant lawlessness in our streets, shops, and homes. Our community is weakened by many of us feeling unsafe- seeing crimes committed with NO consequences.
