What role should race play in the sentencing of offenders? The answer is there is no way you cannot take the life-experiences of those who cause trauma or negative impact into account when sentencing. We have a long way to go in Canada, and conversations like these are important to continue. For healing to occur for our relatives we have to involve those who caused or inflicted trauma, the person who was impacted, and the community to reach full healing from negative choices. There is no logical way to say that specific races of marginalized peoples in Canada and in the US have not been negatively impacted by the systems that are supposed to protect our communities. Knowledge and education in this area is key to making change, and absolutely soak up the knowledge you can to make our world a balanced place for healing.

New policing strategy unveiled to disrupt County Lines: The National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) and the National County Lines Coordination Centre (NCLCC) have launched a Disrupting County Lines Policing Strategy designed to break the model used by criminal gangs. The three-year strategy, published on Tuesday (July 9), aims to: 1) Prevent people engaging in County Lines, and the associated violence and exploitation; 2) Proactively safeguard children and vulnerable adults from harm; 3) Better prepare communities by building resilience against the harms of County Lines; and 4) Relentlessly pursue offenders, including organised criminal groups, urban street gangs and individuals running County Lines. Building on the success since the launch of the Home Office County Lines programme in 2019, the NPCC has seen: - 5,627 County Lines closed down; - 16,536 people arrested; and - 8,817 individuals referred by police to safeguarding. https://lnkd.in/dmHuDAxR

2nd interview with PM Chris Luxon brought to you by One Fush and Scoop. ——— Me: Tēnā koe Chris. I hope you had some great whānau time over the break. PM: Tēnā koe Faumuina. Yes I did and I hope you had the same. Me: Ae. Tino pai. Well already 2024 is 9 days in and so the 100-day plan continues. PM: It sure is. We want to be a Government of action. Me: Today I’d like to talk about your actions regarding gangs. PM: I’m glad you want to talk about that. We have a suite of actions. We will introduce legislation to ban gang patches, stop gang members gathering in public, and stop known gang offenders from communicating with one another. We’ll also give police greater powers to search gang members for firearms and make gang membership an aggravating factor at sentencing. We will also stop funding for section 27 cultural reports. Me: That’s a lot of actions that come into play once people are already gang members. So, there are already laws that cover many actions you have described, the Crimes Act, the Prohibition of Gang Insignia in Government Premises Act, the Arms Act, the Sentencing Act, the Search and Surveillance Act, and the Criminal Proceeds Act. What will you doing that is different? PM: Stopping the funding for section 27 cultural reports is one thing that is new. And we will be giving more resource to enforcement. Me: Did you think there were different ways to execute Section 27, rather than to just defund it? PM. We didn’t look at that. Me: Thinking about last year when the PM’s Chief Science Advisor released the report on understanding the NZ gang problem, you rejected that report. Did you read the report? PM: No, I have a group of advisors who read the report and give me main points. Me: You rejected the report back in July. I am interested if there were any elements in the 131-page report that you thought were relevant? PM: Not that I can remember. Me: Well, since the gangs feature quite highly in your priorities on the 100-day plan, was there a re-examination of the report? PM: No, there wasn’t. Me: Aside from more laws, incarcerations and prisons being built, what are your plans to address the root of the problem: such as poverty, disconnection and discrimination. PM: We have a social investment approach to fund programmes that achieve longer term benefit. Me: Yes. I did read that one page on your website - it was low on detail. PM: We are still working on it. Me: This question is maybe a bit unusual. But since you are cracking down on crime. Last year, it was reported it could be as much as $7b is lost to tax evasion. Will you be looking to resource enforcement? PM: We haven’t looked at that issue yet. It’s not important to our voters. ——— Note: No PM was harmed in this interview. Actually no PM was even interviewed. And apparently no scientific reports read either. #ToitūteTiriti #tangatatiriti

There's not enough discussion about job "training" in prisons. For many institutions, prison work programs are free labor (wage theft in civilian life) and grueling (work site safety violations), what actual transferable skills are they teaching? Few! Feds needs to step in. https://lnkd.in/gtVS6fnK #jobs #employment #reentry #prisonpipeline

The concept is quite simple, less #cops means less #officers on the streets and less to investigate #crimes. This means the criminals have many more opportunities to victimize communities without fear of apprehension or consequences. This emboldens criminals and criminal gangs to not only commit crime but to continually increase there criminal activity creating more chaos and hurting more good, law abiding community members. The stats from this article show this: - From 2010 through 2022, in the Denver the number of uniformed #police declined 15.1% as the crime rate increased 32% In order to check the criminals, you need cops and you need them to be proactive. #Patrol shifts need to be properly staffed, speciality units such as Anti-Crime, Gangs, Narcotics, and Community Safety need to be staffed and deployed, and the departments need to have a proactive philosophy to encompasses active #crimefighting with constitutional #policing and community support. Department’s that institute de-policing methods (restrict traffic enforcement, less patrol coverage, reduced or eliminated speciality units, etc.) are failing their communities. When community members, not activist or politicians, are asked, they say they do not want less police on street and in their neighborhoods. They want to feel safe and they clearly state with less police they do not feel safe. This rings true regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, etc. Coffee with a Cop, Cookies with Rookies, National Night Out, etc. are all great community outreach efforts that help develop stronger relations with individuals whom are already police supporters, they are not crime fighting strategies. What is needed in Colorado as well as throughout the United States, is more Officers, better #training (Basic Academy, inservice, and advanced), a clearly defined proactive policing mission, strong #supervisory and #command support and true #leadership with the #lawenforcement organization.
