EP52 \ Crime & Justice Pt. 3 - The Big Picture • April 7th •
Please see sources from episode 52, Crime & Justice - Pt. 3 - The Big Picture, below. Here are many amazing resources, please enjoy and learn! Once again, a huge thank you to Danica Buck for her enlightening perspective from inside the justice process during our interview in this episode.
This is our third episode on the theme of crime, justice and incarceration. Here we look at the big picture, including the pervasive impact of implicit bias throughout our systems, taking a glimpse on its role in the immense topic of the school-to-prison pipeline, with some compelling studies on the shockingly young ages that our biases begin to affect children. This episode features a conversation with public defender Danica Buck, where we explore the role of our implicit biases in the overall process of the justice system, from traffic stops to sentencing. We also explore some hope-inspiring ideas for how we can begin to conceive of new ways to move away from our broken system of mass incarceration to a system of true justice.
