2022 AZ Governor's race: on Crime


Karrin Taylor Robson: More funding for police & keep qualified immunity

I support our officers. I do not support Defunding the Police or "reallocating" resources. More resources will provide for more staffing and equipment; improve training; build stronger community relationships and reduce crime. In addition to more resources, we will guarantee our law enforcement officers always have qualified immunity. As Governor, if any city or town defunds the police, I will work with lawmakers to ensure that community loses its allocation of state-shared revenue.

Katie Hobbs: Reform Dept. of Corrections, kept inmates past release dates

Reforming The Department Of Corrections: A source of controversy in Arizona, the Department of Corrections needs reform to cut wasteful spending. Recent reports revealed the Department of Corrections was keeping inmates past their release dates and failing to provide rehabilitation programs to thousands who could return to a productive life. Hobbs will investigate these issues, implement policy to ensure tax dollars are not wasted, and reform the corrections system.

Katie Hobbs: Will work to reform Arizona's antiquated sentencing laws

Katie will create a Governor's panel, composed of diverse community leaders, to inform criminal justice reform policymaking and build grassroots support for meaningful change.

Katie will work to reform Arizona's antiquated sentencing laws; provide additional funding to support re-entry into society; work with local law enforcement to address systemic racism in policing; and improve the sentencing provisions to encourage more frequent use of alternative sentences.
