Here is your chance to re imagine not only the way that our society responds to crime, but also how we might address and repair the damage that has already been done. First, consider how we should treat crime—both in terms of preventing it as well as responding afterward.
What should this look like? How should we treat those who are already ensnared within the criminal justice system?
What should be done to begin to repair the harms caused to individuals, to families, and to entire communities?
Finally, consider what some of the first steps in moving toward your new system of justice might look like, and what some of the roadblocks or barriers might be. Do you think that we, as a society, can ever achieve the new system of justice you have envisioned? Why or why not?
