“Let’s abandon this politics of fear that trades on the pain of crime victims and surrenders to the bullying of police unions. Legislators should instead live up to their own stated values and respect the rule of law, as Parole Board members do when they prioritize reconciliation over retribution, and give victims what they deserve: alternatives to mere punishment, an investment in communities most affected by crime, and meaningful opportunities for healing.“
