He advocates for a shift to a problem-solving approach instead.<\/p><h2 class=\"text-xl font-bold text-text-200 mt-1 -mb-0.5\">Fundamental Questions About Justice<\/h2><p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">Risley begins by questioning common assumptions about justice:<\/p><p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">&#8220;Most people think justice means giving wrongdoers the punishment they deserve. But there are at least two huge problems with that view.&#8221;<\/p><p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">He then raises critical questions:<\/p><p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">&#8220;First, since when did anyone other than God know enough about why people do what they do to sit in judgment about what they deserve?&#8221;<\/p><p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">&#8220;Second, since when did doing deliberate harm to a captive become an act of righteousness?&#8221;<\/p><h2 class=\"text-xl font-bold text-text-200 mt-1 -mb-0.5\">A Christian Perspective<\/h2><p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">Speaking from a Christian viewpoint, Risley adds a third consideration:<\/p><p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">&#8220;In the spirit of Christmas, speaking as a Christian, I will add a third: In His Sermon on the Mount, Jesus taught that we should rise above a spirit of retaliation.&#8221;<\/p><p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">Jesus taught that judgment should be left to God. He urged us to treat wrongdoers as we would want to be treated ourselves \u2013 the Golden Rule.<\/p><h2 class=\"text-xl font-bold text-text-200 mt-1 -mb-0.5\">The Failure of Punishment-Based Approaches<\/h2><p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">After exploring Jesus&#8217;s teachings, Risley turns to practical matters:<\/p><p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">&#8220;If imprisonment as a form of punishment worked in reducing crime, then at our current world-leading rate of incarceration per capita in the United States, we should be living in an almost crime-free society.&#8221;<\/p><p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">&#8220;But, we are not. Far from it.&#8221;<\/p><h2 class=\"text-xl font-bold text-text-200 mt-1 -mb-0.5\">Questioning Our Current Methods<\/h2><p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">Risley challenges the logic behind current practices:<\/p><p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">&#8220;It is not getting &#8216;tough on crime&#8217; to keep doing or even doubling down on the same failed things and expecting different results.&#8221;<\/p><p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">&#8220;No one in their right mind would say that continuing to adhere to an approach to criminal justice that breeds crime, rather than reducing it, is either rational or a responsible use of taxpayer money.&#8221;<\/p><h2 class=\"text-xl font-bold text-text-200 mt-1 -mb-0.5\">Looking Toward Solutions<\/h2><p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">He questions why we maintain ineffective approaches:<\/p><p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">&#8220;So, why do we keep doing the same things and expecting different results?&#8221;<\/p><p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">&#8220;There are better ways, exploring which is what this podcast is all about.&#8221;<\/p><h2 class=\"text-xl font-bold text-text-200 mt-1 -mb-0.5\">A New Vision for Criminal Justice<\/h2><p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">In advocating for a problem-solving paradigm, Risley argues this approach is:<\/p><ol class=\"[&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-decimal space-y-1.5 pl-7\"><li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">More functionally rational<\/li><li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">More morally justifiable<\/li><li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">More effective in achieving safer communities<\/li><li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">A more responsible use of taxpayer funds<\/li><\/ol><p>As examples, he refers to the principles and practices of restorative justice introduced in <a href=\"https:\/\/justicevoices.org\/podcast\/ep-14-part-2-michael-tafolla\/\">Episode 14, part 2<\/a>, and to trauma informed approaches to policing and criminal justice such as those described in recommendations by a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.resilientpa.org\/heal-pa\/\">Pennsylvania criminal justice action team<\/a>.<\/p><p>As his bottom line on the eve of Christmas, he cites the Golden Rule: Do unto others what you would have them do unto you.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section
