Opinion: Post-pandemic, the criminal justice class can choose not to return to business as usual

To think outside of this box, as Columbia University professorhas suggested regarding human rights professionals, the criminal justice class — i.e., legislators, judges and lawyers — must disabuse itself of the notion that it is our manifest destiny to right wrongs within the communities we police and speak for but are infrequently of.

Each alleged victim I spoke with initially made the same pained declaration: “I don’t want incarceration, but I don’t know what else to do.”, one of my office’s few social workers. Applying a skill set that lawyers rarely possess, she ably facilitated conversations about resolutions apart from incarceration.

For many in the criminal justice class, there is anxiety associated with relinquishing control over the response to transgression. Exercising authority feels ennobling. Moreover, incarceration is entrenched and, as the alleged victims I spoke with expressed, it seems difficult to imagine alternatives.
