We care about making sure that dangerous people don’t hurt anyone else,” Harman said. “The fact that victims are undocumented does not decriminalize the rape, the murder, the robbery or the scam.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Panetta said he is optimistic about the bill’s ability to find support in the House and Senate, despite the fact that he has introduced the legislation four previous times since 2017, only to see it stall out in committee reviews.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have seen members on both sides of the aisle who actually want to do something, who understand how beneficial it is to have people who are willing to come here, work here, contribute here, abide by the law and to live that American dream,” Panetta told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He blamed President Trump for using immigration policy as a “political tool” in a nation of immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said whether on its own, or as part of a broader immigration bill, he hopes to see the changes in his bill enacted into law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s obviously going to take leadership. We’ve got to continue to stand firm, continue to call out ICE for what they’re doing, how they’re acting, and push back on them,” Panetta said. “But at the same time, we can’t just do that. We’ve got to put forward these meaningful reforms to show where we can go in the future.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

A 2022 study found that a program run by Community Works and another restorative justice nonprofit for youth ages 13 to 17 facing serious felony charges resulted in a 44% reduction in recidivism — compared to a control group who were prosecuted in the traditional juvenile justice system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“ It’s not kumbaya, it’s not ‘Let’s hold hands and hand you a get out of jail free card.’ It’s really difficult work that most people spend their whole lives trying to avoid having to do,” said Lara Bazelon, a professor of law at the University of San Francisco and director of its racial justice clinic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the nonprofit is excited about the potential of its new brick-and-mortar, Hogg acknowledges that it faces political headwinds at the local and federal levels.

A 2022 study found that a program run by Community Works and another restorative justice nonprofit for youth ages 13 to 17 facing serious felony charges resulted in a 44% reduction in recidivism — compared to a control group who were prosecuted in the traditional juvenile justice system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“ It’s not kumbaya, it’s not ‘Let’s hold hands and hand you a get out of jail free card.’ It’s really difficult work that most people spend their whole lives trying to avoid having to do,” said Lara Bazelon, a professor of law at the University of San Francisco and director of its racial justice clinic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the nonprofit is excited about the potential of its new brick-and-mortar, Hogg acknowledges that it faces political headwinds at the local and federal levels.
