Eric Doden on Crime

Develop moral character to maintain law & order

A: A deep commitment to law and order. A lot of the issues are coming from people who are disobeying the law, and I don't think we should make gun laws for people who are obeying the law. We should focus on making sure that we properly prosecute people, that we hold them accountable, that they're just not allowed to go out and feel the freedom to go shoot up a neighborhood or a street without consequences, and swift consequences. For me, it's about law and order, but then also it's about, how are we training our kids, how are we developing their moral character? A lot of these issues are centered around the development of moral character, and that's why I look at a lot of these organizations that are trying to help kids, whether it's Boy Scouts or Boys and Girls Club, that are trying to help these kids understand, how should we treat each other? Treat others the way that you want to be treated.

Prevent rogue prosecutors from unilaterally defying our laws

Indianapolis currently ranks as the 12th most violent city in America. Under my Administration, we'll remove Indianapolis from that list by removing violent criminals from the streets and empowering our law enforcement officers by establishing a bipartisan prosecutor review board to prevent rogue prosecutors from unilaterally defying our laws.
