2016 DE Governor's race: on Crime

John Carney: Rehabilitating offenders is key to safer communities

Like everyone, John wants to make sure we are keeping dangerous criminals off our streets. But he also knows that rehabilitating offenders and helping them become employed and productive members of society are the keys to safer communities. Even more important is preventing our young people from turning to a life of crime in the first place. As governor, he will work to:

Target our resources on high-risk offenders, so police are keeping a closer eye on those individuals with a history of serious and violent crimes.
End the school-to-prison pipeline by giving young people employment and educational options that keep them off the streets.
Provide better access to mental health care and drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
Allocate police resources with the needs of the community in mind.
Improve education and training programs to prepare inmates for reentry into society.
Work with law enforcement to develop trust within the communities they serve.
