crime and punishment

Sit in on a Rangatahi, one of the Maori Youth Courts of New Zealand. Find out how they compare to Indigenous courts in Australia.

In this episode Marshall, EMoney, and Berg discuss a video where a man is brutalized by the police in the worst way, pocket knifes, tasers, the worst experience of their lives, party-pooping hacks, grossest things in retail, JO bandits, and much more! 

Christian thinkers have argued for millennia that only God can give objective grounds for the transcendent moral law. Fyodor Dostoyevsky flips that equation in the face of the death of God in Russia, “Without God, anything is permissible.” That is, if God doesn’t exist, there is no such thing as an act that is off limits, immoral or evil. Dostoyevsky warned that if Russia tries to live out the European Enlightenment worldview, then society will quickly realize that a godless universe is a lawless universe.

Should we banish pedophiles to an actual island? That's essentially what Washington state has been doing since 1990 with the Special Commitment Center for sexually violent offenders deemed to be at a high risk to re-offend. McNeil Island is about two miles off the coast of Tacoma and has about 240 dangerous sexual predators living on it. If we're not gonna put these people on an island, what should we do with them? We thoroughly address the dicey topic of sex offenders - who they are, how many there are, how much damage they cause, why they have the sexual preferences they do, and more, today on Timesuck.

In this episode I chat about Restorative Justice with Janice Jerome of The Restorative Justice Institute of Atlanta.  Janice and I discuss how Restorative Justice allows both victims and perpetrators to heal in a way that the punitive system of justice does not allow.
