That he served a bunch of time and continued to have a problem with recidivism, again proving that punitive justice is poor way to manage crime and we should focus more on restorative and rehabilitative justice?
Also that he apparently had way too easy access to guns and we need aggressive actions to keep them off the streets?

My husband and I work for the same company, his department contracts with hospitals so they are required to follow Virginia barrier crimes. He has seen so many eager and skilled potential employees get hired and then get immediately fired because they have a barrier crime. I understand there need to be protections, I’m not saying hire someone who has abused children to work at a daycare, but he has seen people unable to get hired because they did things like try to escape from a juvenile detention center when they were minors, drunk drive a boat when they were in college, one guy pushed a police officer while being arrested for petty theft from a Walmart when he was 18, etc.jessilin0113 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 26, 2024 10:22 amThat he served a bunch of time and continued to have a problem with recidivism, again proving that punitive justice is poor way to manage crime and we should focus more on restorative and rehabilitative justice?

I’m not saying those things are okay, they should have consequences, but a stupid choice when you were a young adult, or in some cases a child, shouldn’t make you unable to find employment for the rest of your life. That’s what pushes people into poverty and then cycles crime. There is a very strong correlation between poverty and crime, not because poor people are bad, but because poverty causes desperation and a lack of respect for the government system that is failing you.
