New Ben Shapiro Podcast- Debunked: Criminal Justice Reform

 


We have been hearing for several years that we have an over crimminalization problem in the United States.  The proposals from the left and from some think tanks on the right is to release criminals, agree to not prosecute crime, overlook drug use, get rid of bail without something to replace it with, and to defund the police.  Yet, when these proposals were implemented crime took off.  Ben Shapiro debunks the current proposals for "criminal justice reform."
