You believe in creating a fair and equitable legal system that focuses on rehabilitation, reducing recidivism, and addressing the root causes of crime.
Justice Reform is a political ideology that advocates for changes in the criminal justice system to make it more equitable, efficient, and effective. It seeks to address issues such as mass incarceration, racial disparities, police brutality, and the death penalty, among others. The ideology is rooted in the belief that the current justice system is flawed and needs significant changes to ensure fairness and justice for all, regardless of race, gender, or socioeconomic status.
The history of Justice Reform as a political ideology can be traced back to the 18th century during the Enlig…

If you had to argue for or against life sentences, which side would you choose, and why?
@9L2PJQ32mos2MO
I would argue that life sentences should be limited to serious crimes like murder and rape
@9L2WGFT2mos2MO
I do not agree that rape is a serious crime, it does not fall into the same category as murder. Murder is a serious crime and therefore should be a life sentence. Rape is a crime as well, but I don't feel like someone should be sent to prison for life.
@9L2VP692mos2MO
25-30 years in a cell is enough time to change a person, and make them atone, especially in a future system that is reformed to focus on rehabilitation
@9L2P2RT2mos2MO
Against, if they get life they might as well just die
@9L2P4Z92mos2MO
life sentences because some people dont change and cant be aloud back
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
If you were unfairly accused of something you didn’t do, how would you want others to respond, and how does this relate to your views on wrongful convictions?
@9JHVW9V3mos3MO
I would want everyone to try their hardest to show that I am not guilty.
@9JHVC683mos3MO
I would wish to be given a fair trial along with the belief that I was innocent until proven guilty.
@9JHVC43Independent3mos3MO
I would want people to support me and know i didnt do anything wrong and revolt
I believe people should be able to get a re-trial or request a new judge if needed.

Should non-violent drug offenders receive treatment rather than incarceration?
@9H35HJR6mos6MO
depends o the situation but in some cases focusing on treatment rather than punishment can be more effective in addressing addiction and helping individuals get back on track
@9H3597M 6mos6MO
Yes, I do believe they should receive treatment. If they were non-violent, then they should be given treatment to fight their addiction.
@9H34R8X6mos6MO
Yes I think this would largely benefit most offenders.
@9H357YH6mos6MO
I think they should receive treatment and incarceration. Drugs have been proved to have negative effects on people and to prevent it spreading to the younger generations, drug offenders should be treated and put into incarceration to show a more strict stance against drugs. The younger generation is the hope for the future of our country and we shouldn't expose them to illegal drugs since it would prevent them from being the best version of themselves.
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
What's one change you'd propose to make our justice system less intimidating for people who are going through it?
@9KMZPKS2mos2MO
Not much change can occur without any sort of backlash
@9KN9JMM2mos2MO
The question wasn't whether or not people would agree with the change. Rather one of what type of change would benefit the most when it comes to making the justice system less scary for people going through it. To answer the question, I think that when people are being represented, it's made clear to them that the best efforts will be made for them.
@9KN9F5G2mos2MO
if we change it there's gonna be a chance that the crime rate will go up to high or the people will be scared and we will give to much power to the police and government
Backlash from common people? At the end of the day your in charge and you must do what’s necessary to help your people.
@9KMZJFK2mos2MO
A change that is needed is guaranteeing ballot access for voters impacted by this system.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
If you were to mentor a young person at risk of criminal behavior, what guidance would you offer?
@9J2VTXX4mos4MO
It depends on what kind of criminal behavior, but generally I'd say to avoid any future engagement in criminal behavior possible.
@9J2V7FT4mos4MO
I would give them the advice to be honest and take their punishment in stride and learn from there mistakes. take their bad experience and evolve from that point.
@9J2V26SRepublican4mos4MO
was to prevent criminal behavior and stay out of it
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Do you feel that the justice system treats individuals from different backgrounds equally?
No. everyone should be getting treated equally, there are still many racial people out there.
@9H359FH6mos6MO
No, I don't believe that the justice system treats individuals from different backgrounds equally because they have constantly proven otherwise in the past.
@9H35C5G6mos6MO
Fully 58% of Americans say the criminal justice system fails to treat all individuals equally.
@9H35X546mos6MO
No, too much racial bias and racism plague this country.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Should juvenile offenders be handled differently than adults in the justice system?
@9H3597M 6mos6MO
Yes, considering that they are still young and do not know any better in life; HOWEVER, if they have committed murder or rape, they should be trialed as an adult.
@9H35YXB6mos6MO
Yes but depends on act and the severity of the crime
@9H35HJR6mos6MO
juvenile offenders should be handled differently than adults in the justice system
@9H359FH6mos6MO
Yes, they should be handled differently than adults in the justice system.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
How would you feel if society judged you solely on the worst thing you've ever done?
@9HHFZK95mos5MO
It would not be fair because a person can change over the course of their life. They can seek reform and become a better person.
@9HHFZCW5mos5MO
Would'nt be fare because i think everyone makes mistakes
@9HHFQ5YRepublican 5mos5MO
I would not want to be there allso it would make me angry because no person should judge another our only judge is God himself.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
What are the ethical implications of the death penalty in a modern justice system?
@9H3634TWomen’s Equality6mos6MO
its hard to take a life but its almost understandable when they've done unspeakable things.
@9H3597M 6mos6MO
Depressing when you realize that while there are criminals that deserve the death penalty, there are those who get wrongly accused and unfortunately serve it.
@9H35C5G6mos6MO
Major arguments against the death penalty focus on its inhumaneness, lack of deterrent effect, continuing racial and economic biases, and irreversibility.
