At this meeting LWVPFA will discuss the consensus questions posed by the state league's Criminal Justice Update Study committee.  The events of early summer 2020 illustrate why LWVIL must update its Criminal Justice Position. A glaring omission in our position is any reference to policing. But in addition, in the years since the position was last updated, criminal justice reform efforts have revealed that our justice system is not only ineffective but unjust in many ways.    To learn more, go to https://www.lwvil.org/criminal-justice-position-update-study.
