The next phase of the 2020 election season gets started this coming week with the first of what seems likely to be too many Democratic primary debates. As long-time blog readers know, I always get (too?) excited by what different folks might say on the trail about criminal justice issues, and this season it seem likely that criminal justice issues will get far more attention than any time in recent memory. Consequently, I am not surprised to be seeing already a number of media stories and commentaries about criminal justice chatter amidst the campaign, and I expect to be having lots to blog about on this front in the months to come. For now, here is a round up of just a few pieces I have seen this past week in this arena:
-
From FiveThirtyEight, “Democratic Candidates Answer Yes-Or-No Questions About Criminal Justice Policy“
-
From Forbes, “As 2020 Presidential Hopefuls Debate Criminal Justice Reform, The Most Important Action Is In States“
-
From HuffPost, “How 2020 Contenders Are Approaching Police Brutality And Criminal Justice Reform“
-
From Axios, “Where the top 2020 Democrats stand on criminal justice reform“
-
From Politico, “Biden appears to be softening his stance on the death penalty“
