Yet as far as ASJ goes, it seems quite intuitive that any effective approach to reducing mass incarceration in the U.S. will have its biggest impact in ‘communities of color’ and that ‘protecting’ such communities from crime nonetheless must be integral to any such effort.
Not really.
If you want to reduce incarceration while keeping up public safety you could focus on rewarding prisons financially for low recidivism rates. Giving out additional financial rewards costs money but at the same time this policy would lead to increased safety and decreased incarceration.
Advocating such a policy likely wouldn’t be perceived as fighting for communities of color. Campaigning against policies like stop and frisk on the other hand does.
