In this episode, I am joined by Matthew Martens to talk about his new book entitled Reforming Criminal Justice: A Christian Proposal from Crossway. Today, we discuss the nature of justice in the Christian life and how Christians can think about criminal justice reform through a biblical lens.Meet Matthew:Matt is a trial lawyer and partner at an international law firm in Washington, DC. He earned his JD from University of North Carolina School of Law and a Masters of Arts in Biblical Studies from Dallas Theological Seminary. He has spent the majority of his twenty-five year legal career practicing criminal law both as a federal prosecutor and as a defense attorney. He served as a law clerk to Chief Justice William Rehnquist at the US Supreme Court and also as a political appointee in the criminal justice division of the US Justice Department.Resources:Reforming Criminal Justice: A Christian Proposal by Matthew MartensBasic Christian Ethics by Paul RamseyThe Collapse of American Criminal Justice by William J.

It is comfortable and easy to remain naive and sheltered from the realities of the American criminal justice system. Hearing the stories of those who've been wrongfully held and convicted is heartbreaking. Reading the statistics is shocking. In our democratic republic, we must do better. You and I and all citizens have conferred the responsibility to carry out justice to our elected officials, so it's on us to hold them to an honest standard. Listen to this episode of All Things to gain a clear understanding of some of our system's grossest injustices and how you can begin to think, speak, and act for positive change. "The United States is the world's largest jailer…accounting for approximately 19% of the world's prisoners, but only 4.25% of the world's population… We need an examination of the machinery, not merely the product, of the criminal justice system." - Matt Martens, lawyer and author of Reforming Criminal Justice: A Christian Proposal. "The important point for the Christian in a democratic system is that, because government officials exercise power that we played a role in giving them, our duty to love carries with it a moral obligation to supervise the exercise of governmental power we conferred…You and I have a political relationship, and thus a moral proximity, to the situation.” - Matt MartensMany thanks to this season's sponsor, Crossway! https://www.crossway.org/ Reforming Criminal Justice: A Christian Proposal by Matt Martens: https://www.crossway.org/books/reforming-criminal-justice-hcj/ Keep up with Matt Martens: https://matthew-martens.com/ On Twitter: https://twitter.com/martensmatt1

It's another EmMajority Report Thursday! Emma speaks with Spencer Headworth, associate professor of sociology at Purdue University, to discuss his recent book Rules of the Road: The Automobile and the Transformation of American Criminal Justice. First, Emma runs through updates on the arrest of 500 peaceful anti-zionist protesters in DC at a Jewish Voices for Peace rally, the growing death and devastation out of Gaza, US Aid to war, Jim Jordan's speakership, Trump's legal battles, and the hot labor market, before parsing through the moving speeches by Rashida Tlaib and Naomi Klein at the JVP rally. Spencer Headworth then joins as he dives right into the evolution of the automobile and its particular impact on policing in the US. First, Headworth walks through the general bloody invention of the car (causing more American deaths over WWI than the war did), and the capitulation of the US government to the whims of corporations, initiating a slow but sure reassignment of the roads from a public place – for play, community, and commerce – to one exclusively for automobiles, with the criminalization of pedestrian use of the vast majority of streets under jaywalking. Expanding on this, Headworth dives into the impact of the automobile revolution on the implementation of the 4th Amendment, with prohibition law enforcement ramping up the use of “probable cause” to stop and search an automobile and its driver, particularly as traffic stops became the primary interaction between citizens and the state. Moving to the second half of the 20th Century, Emma and Spencer explore the role of both suburbanization – and the parallel decimation of urban areas – and in reinventing American segregation, and interstate highways in pushing the federalization of the very same crimes that were punishing Black and brown Americans at increasingly horrifying numbers, before tackling how all of these elements, aided by the wars on drugs and poverty, pushed racial biases to the center of policing strategy. Wrapping up, they look at the devastating impact of policing's evolution alongside the automobile, and how it serves to reinforce the US police state. Emma concludes the free half by watching Fox & Friends begin to eat the moderate Republicans alive for refusing to endorse Jim Jordan's speakership. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as they discuss the arrival of spooky season, before parsing through the severe disinformation around the recent bombing of a Gazan hospital, Israel's history of bombing medical infrastructure and actively lying about war crimes, and the already-debunked arguments Israel attempted to use to blame Gaza for its own devastation. Barnaby Raine gets to the core of Israel's apartheid regime (colonizer logic), and Ron DeSantis takes on Trump's response to Hamas' terror attack. Raz from Santa Barbara discusses unlearning the patriarchy, which Dan from California expands on, and Spocko explores death threats and free speech, plus, your calls and IMs!

We're back again with more exploration of our criminal justice system. In the first part of this conversation, we looked at policing. In this episode, we're focusing on prisons and prosecution. There has been a lot of attention given in the past several years to police reform but there has been less focus on how we can change prosecution and incarceration.In this episode, you'll hear from Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner on some of the approaches his office has taken to reduce systemic harm, as well as from other familiar voices such as criminologist Phillipe Bourgois, Aqeela Sherrills of Newark Community Street Team, journalist and professor Chenjerai Kumanyika, former Chief Public Defender Keir Bradford-Grey, and Kendra Van de Water of YEAH Philly.Listen in the player below or on Apple, Google, Stitcher or Spotify.

The recent resurgence of gun violence and homicide shows the deep failures in our approach to criminal justice.  But instead of investing in new strategies, politicians are pushing us to respond with the same methods of policing and incarceration that we've been using for decades.  In the first part of this conversation on our justice system's approach to this crisis, we'll take a close look at policing.  We'll explore its history, from the connections to slavery to the lineage of police violence and corruption nationwide.  We'll discuss the effectiveness of various police policies and reforms, look at data on arrests for murders and shootings, and share some interviews with Philadelphia Police officers on the street.   You'll hear from past guests such as journalist and professor Chenjerai Kumanyika, Aqeela Sherrills of Newark Community Street Team, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, and Kendra Van de Water of YEAH Philly.Listen in the player below or on Apple, Google, Stitcher or Spotify.

No one will ever know how many innocent people have been sent to prison because of junk science and flawed forensics. In this episode, we hear from Innocence Project attorney M. Chris Fabricant about how America's broken and racist criminal justice system often relies on bogus scientific evidence for convictions. Chris is the author of the new book, “Junk Science and the American Criminal Justice System.” Best-selling writer John Grisham calls it an “intriguing and beautifully crafted book that …illustrates how wrongful convictions occur.”We explore the urgent need to fix the system and improve the quality of evidence presented in courtrooms. Independent crime labs are among the solutions that we discuss.“Jurors go into court with the expectation that there will be scientific evidence available, and that this evidence will be conclusive. This is just not the reality at all,” Chris tells us.We learn that forensic “experts” call themselves scientists but the current system lacks safeguards that keep science objective. Worse, this very questionable discipline has been corrupting the American justice system since at least the 1970s.Chris Fabricant is the director of strategic litigation for the Innocence Project— a remarkable legal organization that works to free prisoners jailed for crimes they did not commit. Over three decades, the Innocence Project has freed more than 300 unjustly convicted prisoners. And more than 40% of those cases involved the misuse of forensic evidence.In this episode, we hear about cases of people wrongly convicted, many of them on death row. The interview begins with the remarkable and tragic case of Eddie Lee Howard, who spent 26 years in prison insisting that he was innocent. He was finally freed early last year after his murder conviction was overturned after a years-long legal defense by The Innocence Project.Recommendation: Richard and Jim both read and recommend “Land: How the Hunger for Ownership Shaped the Modern World”, by Simon Winchester.

After the arrests of AOC and Ilhan Omar, we checked in with our favorite NPR Host, Kyle Featherbottom, to see what he had to say on the matter.

Chris Fabricant leads the Innocence Project's Strategic Litigation Department, whose attorneys develop and execute national litigation and public policy strategies to address the leading causes of wrongful conviction, including eyewitness misidentification, the misapplication of forensic sciences and false confessions.  Fabricant is one of the United States's leading experts on forensic sciences and scientific litigation. He is a former longtime public defender and law professor, frequently serves as a public speaker on legal reform and social justice, and has published numerous articles in journals such as Fordham Law Review and New York University Review of Law & Social Change. In his recently published book, Junk Science and the American Criminal Justice System, Chris examines the role that faulty scientific evidence has in continuing and strengthening an unjust and racial bias.Join us we as we discuss many issues surrounding the application of forensic science in the criminal justice system.Originally aired on June 23, 2022

Mikaela Rabinowitz's Incarceration without Conviction: Pretrial Detention and the Erosion of Innocence in American Criminal Justice (Routledge, 2021) addresses an understudied fairness flaw in the US criminal justice system: namely, the significant impact of pretrial detention on the millions of Americans held in local jails. On any given day, approximately 500,000 Americans are held in pretrial detention in US jails—not because they are a flight risk, but because they cannot pay for bail or a bail bond. Impacting disproportionally Black and poor individuals, Rabinowitz highlights how pretrial detention is at odds with juridical notions of fairness, effectively punishing Americans before guilt or innocence is ever explored in court. Using a mixed-methods approach, Rabinowitz argues that pretrial detention undermines both the presumption and the meaning of innocence in the American criminal justice system. Incarceration without Conviction is available through Routledge. Mikaela Rabinowitz is Director of Data, Research, and Analytics at the San Francisco District Attorney's Office. Rine Vieth is a PhD candidate in Anthropology at McGill University, where they research the how UK asylum tribunals consider claims on the basis of belief. Their public writing focuses on issues of migration governance, as well as how inaccessibility and transphobia can shape the practice of anthropological research. Learn more about your ad choices.

In the latter half of 20th century, the evangelical community's developing attitudes toward crime and punishment overlapped with the increasingly punitive approach of the American criminal justice system. Faith leaders such as Billy Graham and James Dobson cast crime as an issue of the criminal's heart, deemphasizing its enmeshment with broader social structures and ills. On this episode, Aaron Griffith discusses his book God's Law and Order: The Politics of Punishment in Evangelical America and how thinking about criminality can help people deepen their understanding of sin and redemption.

In both relative and absolute terms, the US imprisons more of its population than any other country on earth, and it pays a fortune to do so. This is neither normal nor inevitable. Eden and Andrew meet to dissect the fundamental issues and untangle how this came to be. From plea bargains to the war on drugs, and from racial discrimination to privatized prisons, there is no shortage of controversy in this passionate search of causes and solutions to this age-old problem of crime.

We spoke to Melanie Steinhardt, who worked for several years in criminal justice reform in New York, about mass incarceration in the United States; the racism endemic to the system, the scale and the cruelty of it, and the prospects for change under the Biden administration. First broadcast Saturday 6 February 2021 on Quarantine FM

It was never designed to be perfect. Mistakes happen, but when an innocent person gets sent to prison based on a crappy criminal investigation and subsequent trial and then gets released years later, we all should demand accountability and answers.

Upon graduating from the New York Film Academy, she released her debut film Conviction, profiling the story of Jeffrey Deskovic, who was wrongly convicted of rape and murder at the age of 16.

On this week’s podcast we are joined by HEAVY HITTERS - strong black women of law in Jummy - Racial and Juvenile Justice Lawyer & Alise - A child abuse and homicide attorney. Both are operating in different functions as lawyers and were able to educate us on their journey to their current roles as well as their day to day work and how they interact with the community. Obviously, we had a strong desire to hear their take on the American Criminal Justice system and opinions on why it does not appear to work in the favor of black people and they didn't disappoint at all. We want to extend a big thank you to them for their perspectives and insight. We ended off the pod on a lighter note with movies Black people should have watched by now and during the quarantine and the response are very interesting ENJOY Outro Song- GoodGirl LA- Bless me Africanist: Email: africanistpodcast@gmail.com Website: www.africanistpod.com  Facebook: The Africanist Podcast Hotline: 301-202-4637 Instagram & Twitter: @africanistpod SoundCloud: @the-africanist Mixcloud: Africanistpod iHeart: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-tribal-talk-30862525/

NOTE: This is a re-release of my discussion with Chloe Cockburn. At the beginning of the episode, I make the following endorsement of Tiffany Cabán, a candidate for Queens District Attorney: On Tuesday June 25th, Queens will hold an election for District Attorney. The DA is the top prosecutor for Queens, a borough of nearly 2.4 million people. If you are inspired by this episode, I would encourage you to support Tiffany Cabán. Cabán is the only public defender running in the race- the other six candidates are career prosecutors and politicians. She is also the only candidate who is refusing corporate PAC money. The other front-runner, Melinda Katz, has taken over $150,000 from real estate players. Chloe doesn't make endorsements as a matter of policy, but a number of organizations she has directed funding towards have endorsed Caban, including Real Justice PAC, the Working Families Party, and VOCAL New York, a group that organizes formerly incarcerated people. Cabán has also received endorsements from congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, and activists Cynthia Nixon and Zephyr Teachout. This will be a low-turnout election, so each donation, volunteer, and voter will have a big impact on the outcome. Prosecutors are the group most responsible for mass incarceration, but their enormous amount of power and discretion also makes them most able to end it.   You can learn more and get involved at www.cabanforqueens.com  Chloe Cockburn leads Open Philanthropy's strategic grant-making aimed at ending mass incarceration in the US. Prior to joining Open Phil, she oversaw state policy reform work for the ACLU's Campaign to End Mass Incarceration. Previously, Chloe worked with the Vera Institute and the civil rights law firm of Neufeld, Scheck and Brustin, and clerked for Judge Sifton of the Eastern District of New York.

Kevin and Chris sat down with our old friend Steven; an attorney, Marxist and host of the defunct(ish?) Supreme Leap Forward Podcast to discuss Marxist criminology, prison, cops, and Soviet jurisprudence. We ultimately conclude that cops suck, prisons suck, the law is dumb, and the concept of the lumpenproletariat is something that we need to keep arguing about.

Judge Alex Kozinski recently published a scathing critique of the American criminal justice system in an article titled “Criminal Law 2.0.” According to Judge Kozinski, we should be alarmed by the number of people who have been exonerated by DNA testing. That testing has exposed a system that is rife with false confessions, unreliable eyewitnesses, junk forensics, and misbehaving prosecutors, among other problems. Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson, on the other hand, says critics have exaggerated the problems and ignored the virtues of our institutions. Although the American criminal justice system has its share of failings, it gets a lot of things right and is thus worthy of our admiration and respect.

This week Jonathan Blanks joins us to discuss civil liberties and police misconduct in America. This episode was recorded at the 2015 International Students for Liberty Conference and features Q&A from the audience.Is there an upward trend in incidents of police misconduct, and if so, why? Is this just a few bad apples, or something more integral to the nature of policing in America? Just how dangerous is it to be a law enforcement officer in America? Dangerous enough to justify the military hardware the police seem to enjoy using so much?Show Notes and Further Reading Jonathan Blanks, “To reduce police violence against citizens, police practices need to change” (Rare article)Jonathan Blanks, “Reasonable suspicion: Are police lying in use of force cases?” (Rare article)Jonathan Blanks, “Race Matters in Ferguson—and in Modern America” (Libertarianism.org column)Jonathan Blanks, “How Equal Rights for Black Americans Still Aren’t Enough” (Libertarianism.org column)Michael Malice, “Why I’ve Never Respected the Police” (Thought Catalog article)Radley Balko, Rise of the Warrior Cop: The Militarization of America’s Police Forces (book)Bruce Benson, To Serve and Protect: Privatization and Community in Criminal Justice (book)William Stuntz, The Collapse of American Criminal Justice (book)Gallup, Confidence in Institutions (poll) See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Professor Robert P. Burns of Northwestern University School of Law offers an insightful critique of the modern American criminal justice system in his new work Kafka’s Law: ‘The Trial’ and American Criminal Justice (University of Chicago Press 2014). This interview explores the characteristics of Kafka’s “Law” and exposes where and how these characteristics exist within the American criminal justice system. Burns leads us through the absurd regime The Trial‘s protagonist must navigate after he finds himself accused of an unknown crime. Kafka’s dystopian law is unknowable, ubiquitous, overly bureaucratic and yet overly informal. In the story’s world the law functions like God and guilt is inevitable. These legal characteristics may appear to be part of an absurd dystopian fantasy world derived from the same wild imagination that produced a story in which a man metamorphoses into a bug. However, we learn in the second half of the interview that the dystopian themes in The Trial capture a present-day reality for many who are accused of crimes in America. Burns’s work exposing Kafkaesque aspects of our legal system and his search to find the most effective means of remedying these situations is vastly important to the societal goal of narrowing the gap between justice and law.

Burns’s work exposing Kafkaesque aspects of our legal system and his search to find the most effective means of remedying these situations is vastly important to the societal goal of narrowing the gap between justice and law.

Professor Robert P. Burns of Northwestern University School of Law offers an insightful critique of the modern American criminal justice system in his new work Kafka’s Law: ‘The Trial’ and American Criminal Justice (University of Chicago Press 2014). This interview explores the characteristics of Kafka’s “Law” and exposes where and how these characteristics exist within the American criminal justice system. Burns leads us through the absurd regime The Trial‘s protagonist must navigate after he finds himself accused of an unknown crime. Kafka’s dystopian law is unknowable, ubiquitous, overly bureaucratic and yet overly informal. In the story’s world the law functions like God and guilt is inevitable. These legal characteristics may appear to be part of an absurd dystopian fantasy world derived from the same wild imagination that produced a story in which a man metamorphoses into a bug.
