Jerri Green on Crime

 

 


Juvenile court is supposed to be based on rehabilitation

[On criminal justice]: "Adult court, the purpose is punishment," she said. "Juvenile court is supposed to be based on rehabilitation." WKNO-BTH raised the criticism that focusing on rehabilitation may be seen by some as "soft on crime." Green rejected this framing. "I don't think it's soft on crime, I think it's smart on crime," she said. "Again, do you want someone who will come out and continue to commit crimes and terrorize your neighborhood, or do you want someone who gets rehabilitated?"
