What exactly do public defenders do? 🤔 They are advocates, activists, and change makers. Mano Raju of the San Francisco Public Defender's Office recently let us see what a day in his life is like! Watch to learn about the role public defenders play in our justice system, and learn more about our #CriminalJustice program on our website: https://lnkd.in/epxp9egT

Our handbook for victim groups, Pursuing Justice for Mass Atrocities, provides guidance on how civil society can advance justice efforts during and in the aftermath of genocide and related crimes. This educational resource uses dozens of real-life examples and expert interviews to offer practical advice and strategic insights in clear and accessible language. https://lnkd.in/gFxv6VKS

WHAT SEPARATES AMERICA FROM AN AUTHORITARIAN COUNTRY? It's that there is a single-tier justice system, whereas in authoritarian countries there are at least two tiers -- one for the general population and one for the governing and connected elite. Yet what is found in authoritarian countries is exactly what Trump argues should be in America -- one system for you and me, and another system for Trump. Electing Trump in November is likely to give America that two-tier system. https://lnkd.in/eMNMiEVN

What if the claim that the United States' criminal justice system is systemically racist was so thoroughly debunked that the great majority of Americans came to see those perpetuating that claim as unworthy of public office or even public consideration in policy discussions? How many George-Soros-funded big city prosecutors would survive politically? How quickly would the de facto decriminalization of crimes like retail theft or the elimination of cash bail for violent criminals be reversed? How many crime victims could be spared? How many lives might be saved? Perhaps these are some of the questions two Stetson University professors had in mind when they embarked upon a review of some 51 studies on sentencing disparities between the years 2005 and 2022. I speak with one of them, Stetson U Psych Prof. Chris Ferguson, on this episode of Counterculture. https://lnkd.in/evqiG5eb

What good leader would resort to mere band-aid solutions for hate crimes in a city like Toronto? Here are some strategies to combat the surge in crime that has seemingly spiraled out of control. Of late, I am embarrassed to call this city my home. Develop a tracking system to monitor various types of crimes by region. Utilize this data to improve training for law enforcement officers. Establish a better ranking system within law enforcement to address different levels of crime by region. Expand the police force with officers who are trained and naturally inclined to be people-oriented, amiable, and psychologically equipped to interact with all kinds of people and cultures—the good, the bad, and the ugly. Adopt a more intimidating stance towards criminals and be less judgmental of law-abiding citizens, irrespective of their race. Impose harsher sentences for hate crimes, vandalism, and violent offenses. Increased police presence is needed. I travel these streets every day and seldom encounter any police officers. Support law enforcement in maintaining control of the streets, ensuring they are not dominated by violent criminals. I could go on but let me stop here....... Good luck Mayor @oliviachow
