In this episode we cover the myth of "tough on crime." Utilizing the work of civil rights lawyer and author, Alec Karakatsanis, we explore how the tough on crime policies fail on their own premise and are therefore not not met to solve the needs of the people. Instead, tough on crime policies and as an extension "crime" itself, is largely a tool of the ruling class.

We also explore policies that will help reduce what the State labels as crime such as food, housing, education, and job security. https://equalityalec.substack.com/p/tough-on-crime https://www.newyorker.com/culture/annals-of-inquiry/the-trouble-with-crime-statistics https://nyti.ms/QvbKEV https://whitecollar.thenewinquiry.com/# https://www.atlanticphilanthropies.org/research-reports/the-3-4-trillion-mistake-the-cost-of-mass-incarceration-and-criminalization
