i think the criminal justice system is criminal in some of the ways that the place justice. we add new america are working even though our society has left if i change we are working for thriving families, individuals and communities to have the time, stability and opportunity necessary to plead productive lives. we need high-quality education for all. we work for equal representation and politics and we do that by telling stories about what is happening and what is possible and by generating big and bold ideas to solutions but i think that you will see that today. the criminal justice system is in dire need of change. it was originally intended to be used as a social deterrent and to protect from those who commit crimes. it was intended for individuals to pay their debt to society and then return as productive citizens. but instead of doing those things, we need big business out of mass incarceration holding the highest incarceration than anyone else in the world. we incarcerate people of color and though we have been aired or rate of one out of nine innocent people convict

there is a real question mark over the ability of prosecutors within the criminal justice system ability of prosecutors within the criminaljustice system to locate the evidence that is hidden in those areas that can be absolutely critical. the thing is, this review is only looking at rape and sexual assault cases. only yesterday, a case, a people trafficking case, not rape or sexual assault, collapsed because of this closure failures. the effect of these disclosure failures can be absolutely devastating. in that case, a young woman who was one of the defendants was on remand for 13 months, during which time she had a child in prison. she should never have been there. this is an issue that certainly criminal lawyers field goes beyond rape and sexual assault.

one is lack of confidence in the criminal justice system whether they will get adequate response and, two, is understanding from the criminal justice system and in some societies reporting to the police is not acceptable. there are people who come to the uk haven't lived here their whole life don't think you should be contacting the police or allowed to. there's fear of the consequences to them as individual be it domestic violence or sexual violence, fear from consequences from the perpetrator, fear from having to give evidence in court. then the humiliation of it. there was a colleague of mine who did a lot of work in sexual violence at conferences an used to say to people, think about the last sexual experience you've had, turn to the person next to you and tell them about it. it's as difficult as that to talk to a police officer about something extremely unpleasant that's happened to you and the trauma you're going through. there's a whole lot of levels in the criminal process that are barriers. the first thing for people is this recognition something has happened to them and the

out how to work with the judicial system, the court system, with the police, and with the criminal justice systemhe probably would've been better off if he had talked to the judges in advance. >> you know, and sam, he had kind of come to an interesting détente with the f.o.p. does this kind of throw that up in the air, or are there constituencies that said, "all right, we'll give you a minute." >> there are two sides in a criminal case. there's the prosecutor and there's the defense. now, there's maybe a better way to prosecute than historically the district attorney's office in philadelphia has done. i'm not a lawyer, and i don't know much about this system. but krasner clearly allied his office with the defense in this process, and i think that undermines the district attorney's relationships with the police, with the judiciary, with the corrections system, with the probation and parole. everybody in that system got whacked even more than the 31 people. >> what happens when we get the first big, ugly case? >> correct, and the thing about this that's most disturbing to me is the notion of reform

for those of you that may be unfamiliar with this criminal justice system, you will learn quickly that i think the criminal justice system is criminal in some of the ways it applies justice. working, america are even though society is buffeted by change, we are working for individuals and communities. have the opportunity necessary to lead productive lives. accessible education for all. equal representation of politics. part by telling stories about what is happening and what is possible and we do that by generating big and bold ideas and i think you will see that today. our criminal justice system is in dire need of change. initially used as a social deterrent and to protect those from those who commit crimes. it was intended for individuals to pay their debt to society, be rehabilitated and then returned to society as productive citizens. instead of doing those things, we have made -- out of mass incarceration with the u.s. holding the highest incarceration than anyone else in the world. we disproportionately arrest and andrcerate people of color though we haven't never rate of one o

for those of you that may be unfamiliar with this particular, with the criminal justice system, you'll learn quickly that i think the criminal justice system is criminal in some of the ways in which it applies justice. we at new america are working even though our society is changing, woo erwe're working f thriving individuals, communities, and family. to have the time, stability, necessary to leave productable lives. we work for equitable, accessible and high quality education for all. we work for equal representation in politics and participation in accountable government. and we do that in part by telling stories about what's happening and what's possible. and we also do that by generating big and bold ideas to solutions that i think you'll see that today. our criminal justice system is in dire need of change. imprisonment was originally intended to be used as a social deterrent and to protect those from those who commit crimes. it was intended for individuals to pay their debt to society, be rehabilitated, and then returned to society as productive citizens. but instead of doing th

[ applause ] >> todd gilbert i would be careful. last yore every republican i gave a shout out they're not back this year in the chamber. you guys have done just fine. before i begin seriously, i would like to thank speaker bill howl for his many years of service to the commonwealth and tell him and his family that we are praying for his speedy recovery. i would also like to take this

at usc teaching torts and criminal law and he has written and spoken extensively about the criminal justice system, race, mass incarceration, and we're thrilled to have you, jody. thank you. and next to professor armor is mike downing former deputy chief of the los angeles police department. mike was with lapd for 35 years. recently retired but gave his entire professional career to the department and is a very, very special friend of the muslim public affairs council and of our community, mike. we really appreciate you being here today. i'm going to kick it right off and start with a question to you, mike. you hear stories in the american muslim community of amilies who, let's say, have a sourn daughter they think is potentially involved in something nefarious or has traveled overseas and they don't know where their son went or they think they've fallen in with the wrong crowd and these well meaning parents take it upon themselves to contact the f.b.i. or federal law enforcement out of a source of desperation that they don't know where their child is. the next thing they experience is their son i

past four years, we have worked often hand in hand with the general assembly to reshape our criminal justice system, to reflect the principle that no person is beyond redemption or unworthy of a second chance. that approach guided the transformation of our commonwealth's juvenile justice system as we reduce the population by nearly two-thirds and began to close our huge adult style youth prisons. i hope you will authorize the construction of two facilities to replace them and advance the reforms that will prepare these young people to lead more productive lives and at the same time, saving the taxpayer of virginia millions of dollars. the power of second chances also define my proudest moment as governor. many of you have heard me tell the story of standing on the steps of this building and ending more than 100 years of disenfranchisement and racial discrimination. since then, my team has worked with all three branches of government to finalize a process that we have used to restore the rights of more than 173,000 virginians, more than any governor in the history of the united states of america. [

discussionndtable this morning, we're joined to talk about bipartisan legislation to reform the criminal justice system. go.ressman scott, days to your thoughts on how it plays out? guest: i think there is a consensus we will not shut it down but what gets in the bill being workedll out. i hope we can fund the government for a year. it is impossible to plan defense on a monthly basis. you need to see the long-term planning. disadvantagetrong with these monthly continued resolutions. www.c-span.org i agree with that -- i agree with that. we need an actual budget on the fence especially. i think we will get there and will not shut the government down and do something very important i believe were my home state of minutes notice, delay the device attack, a tax on sales and nonprofit. 0% growth margin and still get hit with the tax. you do not think immigration or daca gets included in the deal? guest: i think that we can handle that separately and we should. guest: there are a lot of important issues. if you eliminate the medical device tax, it is put there so the affordable -- affordable care act can be

has offloaded the most seriously ill to the criminal justice system, it is the criminal justice system that is running a shadow mental health system. they are the ones interested in solving this problem. if you ask somebody in corrections what do we need to solve the problem? they will instantly say more hospitals, we have to keep the people in a longer until they are stabilized, we need to be able to put them into mandated and monitored treatment in the community. asked that same question to somebody in the mental health industry. they will say that we have to educate the public, and the stigma. they are going to propose things that are totally irrelevant to the elephant in the room. there are 90,000 seriously mentally people in new york city who received zero treatment and the past year -- in the past year. this is who we are not focusing on and that is the issue. >> if you want to improve the delivery of psychiatric services to people who are seriously mentally ill, then you need to start paying for those services. parity has been turned into almos

that person's identity, and i don't know where the intersection is taking place within our criminal justice system. and then, i also am curious just to how you can work with trans sex workers who on one hand you're arresting, however, on the other hand, you're asking them to report true reports of violence against them, and when there's so much -- i mean, let's say there's so much economic discrimination against trans folks, and unfortunately, folks do a disproportionate amount of sex work is a way to survive in this city. and yet, and the violence associated with sex work is so high, and that is a form of hate crime. and i'm just not getting a perception of some of the intersections of -- or the vulnerablity, i guess, of my community. and when i say my community, i shouldn't be so parochial, because all of us are here together. of my community, because it doesn't seem -- even after all this time, it doesn't seem to have permeated into the criminal justice system in a really valid w really meaningful way. >> i think those are valid comments. it does leave one feeling as if it's not a whole holisti

high-speed rail construction, health care, and the criminal justice system. this is just over 30 minutes. [applause] [applause] gov. brown: thank you. thank you. [applause] gov. brown: thank you. thank you. [applause] gov. brown: as my father used to say, i accept the nomination. [laughter] gov. brown: who knows? good morning. as our constitution requires, i'm here to report on the condition of our state. simply put, california is prospering. while it faces its share of difficulties, we should never forget the bounty and endless opportunities bestowed on this special place or the distance we have all traveled together these last few years. it is now hard to visualize -- or even remember -- the hardships, the bankruptcies, and the home foreclosures so many experienced during the great recession. unemployment was above 12%. 1.3 million californians lost their jobs. in deficit was $27 billion 2011. this the coast of dystopia. the wall street journal saw the greek -- the great california exodus. the economist of london pronounced us the ungovernable state. and th

more people falling through the cracks now, and you've written a book on how poverty and the criminal justice system interface. most of us when we think about the criminal justice system, we think about people charged and/or convicted of serious offenses, murder, armed robbery, drug dealing, you know, rape, that kind of thing. and your book takes a little different twist on this issue of criminal justice. and so tell us, wasn't that motivated you to write this book, "not a crime to be poor": the criminalization of poverty in america," what was it that prompted you to write that book at this time? >> guest: i think i could say it in a word, which is ferguson. all of the things we've been talking about so far, but those relate to what i've done one way or another, about poverty. and over that period of time, i never think about, i didn't know about all these ways that we are now criminalizing poverty, and much of that has been going on for two or more decades. so ferguson, michael brown is killed, that's horrible. we see that in other communities, african-american men an armed killed by police officer

public confidence in our fair trial system is to be maintained, fixing disclosure is now the criminal justice system's. clive coleman, bbc news. earlier i spoke to former cps chief prosecutor nazir afzal and asked him how concerned people should be about these developments. public confidence has been shaken by a series of cases where very basic things such as disclosure... the most basic thing is providing the defence with a case against them and also the evidence you have that may assist them. the fact it has not been happening in these very high profile cases, and the one that clive mentioned yesterday, suggests to me that something is amiss and it needs to be remedied. we have heard the dpp say she wants every single case in the system to be looked at afresh by a more senior lawyer. the question clive asked, that i asked, as well, is what about other cases? it doesn't have to be just rape and sexual offences. disclosure impacts on all serious cases, everything. there is no current proposal to look at all such matters. we have got a situation where juries hear the evidence. they don't know now wheth

it when we look at the criminal justice system we see when it comes to black and brown individuals, our criminal justice system is partial on black and brown individuals. >> laura: you just that we are not victims. that sounds like victims. our society makes it such that if you commit a crime and you are black and brown you have a higher rate of being in prison than your white, in part, that is a fact. that is a fact. >> laura: you believe that chicago's crime rate is the fault of donald trump? >> no. >> laura: detroit, l.a., baltimore? >> if not donald trump's fault. >> laura: who's fault is it? >> there are policies within our societies that make it so those issues continue to be perpetuated. >> laura: there's a lot there. criminal justice reform, that's a big topic, probably can't handle that into minutes. there's a huge crime problem that has been exacerbated by open borders. african-american families and young men are hurt by a glut of cheap labor that has cross the borders that has hurt the lowest wage earners in the country more than anyone else and donald trump is actually tryin

jason lewis, virginia democrat bobby scott to talk about the bipartisan legislation for the criminal justice system, but before we get to that, with just days to go before the potential shutout coming your thoughts on how the next couple of days will play out? >> guest: there's the consent this we are not shutting the government found that wha down s under the bill is still getting worked out and i would hope that we could come to an agreement and funded for a year. i come from an area that is very strong in defense and virtually impossible. the shipbuilding for example exn a monthly basis you really need to be able to do long-term planning, so we are in a strong disadvantage in these monthly continuing resolutions. the >> guest: i agree. we passed the appropriation bills in the house and senate and ended up getting back into the cr. on the defense especially i think we will get there but we won't shut the government down and we will do something very important for my home state of minnesota and that is the way the medical advice tax that is on the sales. we will get it done and handed over to the

usc teaching torts and criminal law and he has written and spoken to and simply about the criminal justice system, race, mass incarceration and we are really to have the jody, thank you. next to professor jody armour is mike downing former deputy chief of the los angeles police department. mike was with lapd for 35 years recently retired but gave his entire professional career to the department and is a very very special friend of the muslim public affairs counsel and we really appreciate being here today. i'm going to kick it right off and start with a question to you you, mike. and the muslim-american community families who lets they have a son or daughter that they think is potentially involved in something or has traveled overseas and they don't know where their son went or they think they have fallen into the wrong crowd and well-meaning parents take it upon themselves to contact the fbi or federal law enforcement out of the source of desperation that they don't know where their child is. the next thing that they experience is that their son is slapped with the terrorism prosecution will be

need to look into this, to get public confidence, and for victims to have confidence about criminal justice systemeport, and yet again the criminal justice system feels... it also makes you wonder, are they listening to victims, and as victims commissioner i want to do my part to get that support the victims because they deserve that. it is not a story, it is their life they live on a daily basis. baroness helen newlove, victims commissioner for england and wales, thank you for being with us. easyjet, ladbrokes and virgin money are among the major employers who've revealed that they pay women on average at least 15 per cent less than men. 0rganisations which employ more than 250 workers must publish theirfigures. more than 500 have done so. another 8,000 have until april to reveal the data or risk being fined under a new law intended to tackle workplace discrimination. sarah russell is a solicitor specialising in discrimination at work. she's also a labour councillor on manchester city council, and joins us from our salford studio. thanks for being with us this lunchtime. let me ask you first of a

people falling through the cracks now and you have written a book about how poverty and the criminal justice system interface. most of us we think about people charged and convicted of serious offenses, armed robbery, drug dealing, that kind of thing. your book takes a twist on this different issue of criminal justice and so tell us what was it that motivated you to write this book not a crime to be poor, the criminalization of poverty in america, what was it that prompted to write the book at this time? >> guest: all the things come back to what we've done one way or another about poverty and over that period of time, i would never think about -- i didn't know about all these ways we are now criminalizing poverty and much of it has been going on for two or more decades, so michael brown is killed, that is horrible and we see that in other communities. another story about ferguson is we found out in running this awful system it's basically to get revenue for the city that the majority of the african-american town it's not a question about whether they didn't vote out the white people, never mind bu

that is what all the lawyers i speak to within the criminal justice system the lawyers i speak to withinminaljustice system are telling me, and there is very little i have seen so me, and there is very little i have seen so far as to quite how this is going to be funded. yes, jeremy wright is correct to say that police need to go back to basics and do basic things correctly, but they also need the right software, the right training and the amount of time to do what is a very difficult and challenging exercise. thank you very much. three teenage boys have been killed after being hit by a car while standing at a bus stop in west london last night. the group of 16 year olds were in hayes, close to heathrow airport, when the car mounted the pavement, just after 8:30 yesterday evening. the driver of the car has been arrested and is currently being treated in hospital. the prime minister has welcomed a landmark ruling by trade authorities in the us, overturning a decision to impose huge tariffs on planes which are partly built in the uk. the aerospace firm bombardier won a surprise victory in

because it is a fundamental requirement of the criminal justice system fundamental requirement of the that releva nt all relevant evidence. at that relevant evidence is not before the court, the court cannot do its job properly so disclosure is a fundamental part of the system. a0 many years now it has been regarded as an afterthought by police and prosecutors and that have to change. we also need to factor in all the changes that come from about large volume of electronic material and carrying on the way we do may not be practical. thank you very much for speaking to us, the attorney general, jeremy wright, joining us from our birmingham newsroom. three teenage boys have been killed after being hit by a car in west london last night. the group of 16 year olds was standing at a bus stop in hayes, close to heathrow airport, when the car mounted the pavement, just after 8:30 yesterday evening. the driver of the car has been arrested and is currently being treated in hospital. the prime minister has welcomed a landmark ruling by trade authorities in the us, overturning a decision to impo

and when you look at those failed systems like the criminal justice system, like the immigration system, like the education system that causes underprivileged people and underserved people not to have fair opportunities while this story is titillating and aggravating and a lot of other adjectives that i won't use, i think it is a distraction from the deeper issue that we must get to. it's not about personalities, it's about policies. it's about getting policies in place that will really bring about the kinds of change that will cause people to live a better life, that will really affect people who are underserved and don't have the proper opportunities. at the end of the day, we the people define what america is. and we have to take that right back. we live in a society that we have the advantage of all of this technology, and it's created an atmosphere whereby we can get information at breakneck speed, and there are pros and cons to that system because, on the other hand, what we think about any issue is governed by who we watch or who we read. and because behind the scenes, behind the

blamed, can affect their well being for years and can support better outcomes within the criminal justice system and protect other victims. yet, even after the first day and the conclusion of the first week, it was brought to my attention by many involved in this case that there are still people in this very community and elsewhere i would imagine, who are saying that these women were all in it for the money or the attention. are you kidding me? after 150 heart wrenching, raw, graphic, visceral impact statements, how can anyone system believe that? even to this day, even as this historic sentencing hearing is broadcast around the globe, there are still likely people who doubt. perhaps those 2,000 folks who voted for this defendant as school board member. perhaps the many petition writers we're aware of who included doctors and trainers and athletes and lawyers who spared nothing to come to the defense of this defendant over 16 months ago. and continued to defend him for months even after he had been charged with kyle stevens' abuse. i hope and pray that they are watching, that they are listening

you have experience in the criminal justice system? er: i worked 18 years in the criminal justice system. host: what was your biggest take away if you could drop 18 years into a single thought or statement about the system and how it is operating? caller: it is interesting basically to hear people's comments, and you can tell based on their comments they have no idea what the system is and what it does. closely with prisoners and the prison population. for the most part, in fact, to enact adequate change, it has to start before people are arrested or have a criminal sentence. and when detainees get sentences, they had trouble getting adequate work. the work they get does not pay -- which -- does not pay to does not pay a suitable wage, and when you look at drug treatment within the facility or outside of the jail, it is inadequate and a sickly -- basically goes to the lowest bidder, who can offer a service to the state for the cheapest fee? and people who offer the service do not have to rehabilitation in mind. it is a process. when you
