Recent Episodes of the Scott Horton Show
10/18/21 Scott Hechinger on the Murder Rate, Police Reform and Gun Control
Scott interviews attorney Scott Hechinger about a recent article he wrote for The Nation. They discuss the recent jump in the murder rate, its possible causes and the portrayal of the increase in the media. Hechinger explains that the universal nature of the increase hurts the argument that bail and police reform are causing crime surges. Scott and Hechinger also discuss racial disparities in the justice system. Both agree that the problem is in the over-policing of poor black communities rather than the lack of policing in affluent white neighborhoods. Lastly, they touch on the closing of Wallgreens in San Fransisco and the problems with the further criminalization of gun possession.
Discussed on the show:
- “A Massive Fail on Crime Reporting by The New York Times, NPR” (The Nation)
