Combating Over-Criminalization w/ Jason Pye of Due Process Institute (TRP Episode 124)
Jason Pye joins us from Due Process Institute. It’s is a nonpartisan organization that works toward the goal of criminal justice reform, specifically in lobbying Congress against over-criminalization and for very specific improvements in sentencing and rehabilitation of drug crimes like simple possession, among other things.
The Republican Professor thought it would be good to get a conversation going on these issues, as there is probably a lot of common ground . Republicans might learn a lot by hearing how the opposition to irrational gun control (rooted in a healthy understanding of the police power) may intersect with issues in due process and rehabilitation. Folks who think there is over-criminalization in regulation of tools of personal protection might find there are connections to other aspects of Constitutional law and common decency.
