When criminologists attack
How did I miss this? In a Boston Globe article dated October 19 a criminologist group gives Kerry Healey a very well earned poke in the eye
“Many criminologists are offended that she is using that authority to advance a campaign that is so out of line with justice, where a defense attorney can’t be a good leader and you have to be either for victims or against them,” said James Alan Fox, a Northeastern University criminal justice professor.
No kidding. Healey’s understanding of “justice” continues to come in direct conflict with those who have the experience of being charged with serving those principles. Muffy sure isn’t fooling anyone in the criminal justice system
`You’d think it would be wonderful for us to have someone in such political high office. It would be, if she were really true to the principles of what criminologists stand for. Many of her statements are focusing on politics more than policy,” said Fox, who called Healey’s professional credentials “rather thin.”
Ouch.
Politics before policy? Say it ain’t so.
In her craptacular run for Governor, Kerry Healey has done nothing but put politics before policy. It’s about time these chickens have come home to roost.
