Quotes by Yance Ford

We have to deal with the way that race influences our criminal justice system.

Quotes by Yance Ford

It is apparent, if you go back through our history, that the grand juries of the criminal justice system do not value black lives.

Quotes by William Barr

Quotes by Trey Gowdy

Society is now less convinced of the absolute accuracy of the criminal justice system.

Quotes by Tom Price

Quotes by Tom Price

Quotes by Ted Lieu

The criminal justice system should have the authority to determine the immigration status of all criminals, regardless of race or ethnicity, and report illegal immigrants who commit crimes to federal authorities.

Quotes by Susana Martinez

We cannot elect a president who provides no hope to the laid-off union worker, no hope for the mother of five and no hope for the researcher who might find a cure for cancer.

Quotes by Sheila Jackson Lee

I therefore believe that our system does not have a word for failed trial, and that is where the American public does not realize that our criminal justice system sometimes makes mistakes.

Quotes by Sam Sheppard

It's really important to me that the public have confidence in their criminal justice system. We don't operate very well if the public doesn't trust us.

Quotes by Sally Yates

Our constitutionally-based criminal justice system places a high value on protecting the innocent. Among its central tenets is the idea that it is better to let a guilty person go free than to convict someone without evidence beyond a reasonable doubt.

Quotes by Robert Shapiro

All decisions in the criminal justice system must be determined by the physical and scientific evidence, and the credible testimony corroborated by that evidence, not in response to public outcry.

Quotes by Robert P. McCulloch

We'll be launching the new public prosecution service in Northern Ireland tomorrow. I'll be doing it in Belfast tomorrow. This is an entirely new era, in which criminal justice now exercised on an equal basis, not the old basis in which community division was a feature.

Quotes by Peter Hain

I think the federal government should be doing only what the Constitution says it should be. We don't have authority under the federal Constitution to have a big federal criminal justice system.

Quotes by Paul Broun

Secularist justices de-Christianized our country. They invented new rights for vicious criminals as though criminal justice were a game. They tore our country apart with idiotic busing orders to achieve racial balance in public schools.

Quotes by Pat Buchanan

The fact that our legal system has become so tolerant of police lying indicates how corrupted our criminal justice system has become by declarations of war, 'get tough' mantras, and a seemingly insatiable appetite for locking up and locking out the poorest and darkest among us.

Quotes by Michelle Alexander

The Supreme Court has made it nearly impossible to prove race discrimination in the criminal justice system.

Quotes by Michelle Alexander

It is no longer socially permissible to use race, explicitly, as a justification for discrimination, exclusion, and social contempt. So we don't. Rather than rely on race, we use our criminal justice system to label people of color 'criminals' and then engage in all the practices we supposedly left behind.

Quotes by Michelle Alexander

We need transformational change of our criminal justice system - not just, you know, a handful of consent decrees or policy reforms.

Quotes by Michelle Alexander

Quotes by Malcolm Jenkins

The people who have been unjustly disenfranchised by our criminal justice system and the people who daily fight for them always have, and always will be, the inspiration and focus of my efforts.

Quotes by Malcolm Jenkins

Quotes by Loretta Lynch

Once brave politicians and others explain the war on drugs' true cost, the American people will scream for a cease-fire. Bring the troops home, people will urge. Treat drugs as a health problem, not as a matter for the criminal justice system.

Quotes by Larry Elder

As a former attorney general. I have the greatest respect for the criminal justice system. But it is not good at intelligence gathering.

Quotes by Kelly Ayotte

So if you want a really effective criminal justice strategy, you don't build bigger prisons, you invest money in young kids - and you accept that it's going to take years to work through, but it's a more effective strategy.

Quotes by Keir Starmer

If you're not thinking about the way systemic bias can be propagated through the criminal justice system or predictive policing, then it's very likely that, if you're designing a system based on historical data, you're going to be perpetuating those biases.

Quotes by Kate Crawford

Squeeze human nature into the straitjacket of criminal justice and crime will appear.

Quotes by Karl Kraus

To change criminal justice policy in any meaningful way means to propose changing a very longstanding system. It's not realistic to think you can do it overnight.

Quotes by Kamala Harris

Generally speaking, the public appetite for criminal justice policy is just tough talk.

Quotes by Kamala Harris

You look at what animates Democratic voters; you look at what animates Democratic politicians: it's health care. It's increasingly climate. It is wages and economic issues. It's issues around reproductive freedom and criminal justice reform and inequality.

Quotes by Jon Lovett

I love cops; I'm fascinated by the criminal justice system.

Quotes by John Gregory Dunne

Quotes by Jan C. Ting

I find it very frustrating how much passing the buck there is in the criminal justice system when it comes to taking responsibility for outcomes.

Quotes by James Forman, Jr.

There can be racism in a system even if a particular episode of injustice is not a manifestation of that racism. Every single thing in the criminal justice system is not a manifestation of racism, but many things are.

Quotes by James Forman, Jr.

Black and brown communities are significantly and disproportionately impacted by deficiencies in our criminal justice system.

Quotes by J. B. Pritzker

Quotes by Ha Ha Clinton-Dix

The American people do not want people thumbing their nose at the law. It undercuts the very fabric of our society and the system of civil justice and of criminal justice as well.

Quotes by Ernest Istook

Our criminal justice system is fallible. We know it, even though we don't like to admit it. It is fallible despite the best efforts of most within it to do justice. And this fallibility is, at the end of the day, the most compelling, persuasive, and winning argument against a death penalty.

Quotes by Eliot Spitzer

I went to UCF in Florida in Orlando. I went for advertising and public relations. I moved out to California my senior year because I knew I wanted to be an actor, but I also wanted to finish school and get my degree. I took mainly a bunch of criminal justice courses online for the last year because that's all that they offered.

Quotes by Drew Seeley

We need criminal justice reform. You have heard people talk about that all over the country. I was able to work on that specific issue at home.

Quotes by Brad Schneider

The purpose of the criminal justice system is both to rehabilitate and to punish. If we can rehabilitate somebody, that's a huge, huge win.

Quotes by Blake Farenthold

Whether or not we can save Lake Michigan, whether or not we can avoid a breakdown in our criminal justice system are more important than whether or not I'm going to be governor.

Quotes by Ayanna Pressley

Well, the terrible thing right now, and I don't know the statistics, but there's a growing concern in some communities about how rapidly people are sent from school to jail, how quickly they're put into the criminal justice system. And of course the rapidly growing number of brown people, both men and women, in prison. And this is terrible.
