San Francisco Should Try Punishing Criminals, Not Businesses
Josh Crawford, Director of Criminal Justice Initiatives at Georgia Center for Opportunity, recently appeared on Ave Maria in the Afternoon to discuss one of the nation’s most challenging public-safety environments: San Francisco’s Tenderloin District. Crawford shared insights into the newly implemented city ordinance that mandates nightly business closures in the district—a policy that, while well-intentioned, fails to address the root problems of crime and public safety. Instead, the ordinance further hampers economic opportunities for local businesses and residents.
Tune in to hear Crawford’s thoughts on the real solutions needed to bring lasting change to the Tenderloin District and improve both safety and economic opportunity.
