A Policy Paper Exposing the Failure of the 1994 Crime Bill and the Disproportionately Negative Impact on Black American Citizens
Reforming the debacle known as the 1994 Crime Bill legislation.
"The focused destruction began twenty-three years ago when Democrat President William Clinton signed the largest piece of criminal justice legislation in US history. The 1994 Crime Bill was sold under the guise of taking a tough stand against increasing crime in the United States, however, “In 2005...four out of five drug arrests were for possession, and only one out of five was for sales. Moreover, most people in state prison for drug offenses have no history of violence or significant selling activity.” With the stroke of a pen the move from years of a rehabilitation mindset to a crime control model was set in motion."
Look for more to follow as the policy paper is made public and changes ensues.
