あらすじ・解説
In this episode, the “Our Voice” podcast welcomes Lenore Anderson – co-founder and President of the Alliance for Safety and Justice. Host Neil Volz talks to Lenore about her recently released book In Their Names: The Untold Story of Victims’ Rights, Mass Incarceration, and the Future of Public Safety. Aswad Thomas – who had his professional basketball career tragically end after being shot multiple times as a young man – joins Lenore. Aswad serves as Vice President of the Alliance for Safety & Justice and National Director of CSSJ. Together, Lenore and Aswad explain why they believe it's time to end the powerful myth that mass incarceration alone benefits victims. And why we need to provide more resources for victims so they can manage their unaddressed trauma — a leading cause of violent crime.
