SMART JUSTICE CAMPAIGN: 11 MAY 2010
Written by camilla on May 11, 2010 – 2:18 am -Ah, election season: when it seems that only ‘Law and Order’ is on the menu and being ‘tough on crime’ is the daily mantra. But do the measures offered by politicians, such as more police and more prisons, really make our communities safer? Are the politicians really offering us policies that will lower crime or do they risk making things worse for everyone?
Enter the ‘Smart Justice’ campaign, spearheaded by the Federation of Community Legal Centres, which is about to be relaunched at the end of May. The campaign is designed to promote criminal justice policies that are effective, evidence-based and human rights compliant.
Tonight on Done By Law, we speak to Hugh de Kretser, Executive Officer of the Federation of Community Legal Centres, to discuss the smart justice campaign and do a bit of myth busting about crime in Victoria and how to really make our communities more safe.
