Public Safety and Criminal Justice Reform

Public safety and criminal justice reform focus on making communities safer while creating fairer, more effective systems for handling crime. Public safety involves preventing crime and protecting residents through law enforcement, community programs, and effective policies. Criminal justice reform aims to address issues like over-incarceration, racial disparities, and rehabilitation, by improving law enforcement practices, sentencing, and support for offenders. The goal is to balance safety with fairness, ensuring justice systems serve and protect all citizens while reducing unnecessary harm and promoting equitable treatment.
