Author

Bolick, Clint

Subjects
Discrimination in criminal justice administration -- Social aspects, Rule of law -- Social aspects
Abstract

Policies should be initiated to address problems of race and crime that are threatening the rule of law. For one thing, law enforcement and criminal justice should be handled at the community level. In addition, civil rights protections should focus on the victims of crimes rather than the criminals. These reforms should be placed within a more wide-ranging program of empowerment, concerned with things such as higher graduation rates, job creation and community organization. Affirmative action should not be applied to criminal law, however.
