The Transform Justice PodcastEp25: Problem-solving courts - compassion or control?Problem-solving courts have long been hailed as a progressive alternative to traditional punishment. In theory, these experimental courtrooms recognise and address the root causes of crime and humanise those who come into contact with the criminal justice system.

Hosts Rob and Penelope are joined by Phil Bowen, Director for the Centre for Justice Innovation, and Jocelyn Simonson, Professor at Brooklyn Law School...2023-09-2932 min

Per Prof. Simonson, historically Democrats funded America's PDs in the name of Civil Rights. Minneapolis gets to keep its police department. That's the outcome of last week's ballot vote. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey called for police officers "to make sure they are working directly with the community to keep us safe." In our podcast conversation, Professor Jocelyn Simonson brings attention to the complexity of the term "community". What is exactly a community and who is in it? Frankly, before this podcast conversation, I was under the impression that the term community had a...2021-11-121h 05

Oral ArgumentEpisode 187: Both Sides of the VJocelyn Simonson returns to the show to wake us up to the many public interests on both sides (and no sides and all sides) in criminal cases.
