‘Ending Overcriminalization and Mass Incarceration,’ with Dr. Anthony Bradley
Dr. Anthony Bradley joins Matt and Derek to talk about mass incarceration.
Justice issues are ever prevalent in modern society. Moreover, conversations around justice are often co-opted by overly simplistic solutions. Dr. Anthony Bradley (Professor of Religious Studies at The King’s College in New York City and Research Fellow at the Acton Institute) joins Matt and Derek to get into the details of some of these issues and to share his insights from his book, Ending Overcriminalization and Mass Incarceration: Hope from Civil Society. Listen in to hear questions on the flaws in the New Jim Crow thesis, what factor race plays in criminalization, and how the church should think theologically about its own task with respect to prison reform.
