They also expect men to be accountable to women and women's groups. I have come to ever more seriously question the validity of merely removing our current criminal justice system, only to replace it with other models, particularly models that do not address the sorts of systematic biases highlighted earlier. New models with old philosophical roots will not a just society create, nor justice restore. Now, I issue the challenge to each and every one of you to join our efforts. Let's examine how we might apply all of this to the notion of community safety.
People do indeed feel unsafe, women are especially fearful.
Their fear is not unwarranted. All research and experience shows that women and children are most at risk, not out in their communities, but in their homes. The greatest risk of harm is from those closest to them. Each of us must identify, acknowledge and address our own biases. They must also confront and call to account other men's sexism and violence.
