Been thinking about this nonstop for 24 hours. The odd thing is that it’s not hard to give a good answer to this. “I think systemic change and better safety nets, addiction treatment, and mental health support could vastly reduce the amount of crime. Of course it won’t eliminate it altogether, and some people probably do need to be kept apart from wider society, but for those people we could and should move towards a Norwegian style system that treats them with as much dignity and freedom as possible, while still keeping everyone safe.”

@ShakeelHashim Yeah, but Norway still has prisons and the ideological commitment is to abolishing those.

@ShakeelHashim that might be a good answer, but it is not what she believes!

@ShakeelHashim I shall abolish the freedom to commit crimes and bring about the future Bono sings about "Where the streets know your name".

@ShakeelHashim (That’s just prison with extra steps)
