Criminal justice is the delivery of justice to those who have committed crimes. The primary delivery process is conducted by the police, the prosecution, the defense, the courts and prisons.
Typically, in the US. there are 4 levels of government. The city or town, the county, state and the federal level. Each of these government bodies has the primary role of protecting the citizens from personal injury and loss or damage to private property. Period!
Many major cities in the US have introduced “criminal justice reforms” which include no cash bail laws. This scares the hell out of me. Criminals arrested for violent crimes will be released from police custody because they are not required to post bail. The reasoning put forth by extreme liberals is that bail laws disproportionately impact low-income felons, many of whom are repeat offenders. Of course, it does. Most violent crimes are committed by low-income people. That’s a fact.
The FBI reports crime statistics each year. Go to their website and study Table 43. For the most recent year, 2019, the FBI reported 7,964 murders in the US. Most of these murders occurred in the major cities; 51% by blacks and in mostly democrat run cities. These cities have liberal DA’s using their powers to allow felons to go free. No cash or low cash bail systems put arrested felons back on the street. Often, these criminals commit more crimes. In New York City, 83% of the felony arrests involving gun crimes, the person arrested was released on the same day. This year, NYC has had 443 murders, Philadelphia has had 523. That is a fact!!
“Criminal Justice Reform” is loaded with very harmful policies. That is why crime rates have soared in 2020 and 2021.
One liberal pundit wrote in our local “fish wrap” that a crime committed by a recently released repeat felon is no indication that the “system” is broken. Really?? Gather the data, look at the repeat offenders, and study the rap sheets. Why would any local law enforcement official release a repeat offender?
These felons are dangerous!
