Date: 2020-07-06

The United States has a 40% recidivism rate, which has only led to mass incarceration.  The increasingly popular notion to combat mass incarceration has been to defund the police.  This would involve taking money from the police budgets and diverting it into other programs, such as drug rehabilitation and education.

However, decreasing police budgets poses the question, would a defunded police force be just as successful at preventing crime?

Today on the podcast we interview George Gascón, a Los Angeles District Attorney candidate.  George Gascón spent a portion of his career working for the police and is now running on a very interesting platform when it comes to this topic.  Check out this clip from our podcast and listen in on what he had to say on the topic of defunding the police to ending mass incarceration.
