We all have a role to play in creating a world where everyone has the supports, resources, and opportunities they need to thrive. Let’s begin by asking ourselves some tough questions. Together, let’s (Re)Think “Crime”.
- 6:30-8:30pm Thursday, June 10th
Join Jessica Hutchison for a provocative and challenging presentation that turns our concept of “crime” upside-down. What is “crime” and why are certain people seen as “criminal”? How can we move away from a punishment mentality to one based in care, compassion, and support? How can we prevent and reduce harm by shifting the focus from individuals to systems and structures? What can we do, as individuals and as a collective, to build a society that is equitable, fair, and just? Jessica will discuss how crime and criminalization are social constructs and how we can move away from operating from carceral (control and punishment) mentality in many aspects of society to upstream approaches that address social harms.
