2020 VT Governor's race: on Crime


David Zuckerman: Reduce the need for police intervention

Zuckerman says the state should tackle the root of diversity at its root. "Making sure we invest in opportunities that reduce the need for police intervention by having more mental health councilors and investing in more affordable housing and providing more economic opportunities for Vermonters," said Zuckerman.

David Zuckerman: We need an extensive and systemic collection of racial data

Our criminal justice system unfairly and disproportionately lands more black and brown Vermonters in prison than others. Without publicly available data, we face significant challenges to addressing disparities and advancing meaningful reforms. That is why we need an extensive and systemic collection of racial data about everything from school suspensions to police use of force, along with traffic stops and all court processes, to address disparities and advance meaningful reforms.
