Summary
As the radical left takes aim at America's justice system, their "reforms" have led to a rapid increase in catch and release policing that has had a disastrous effect on America's big cities. On this episode, Producer Andrew is joined by author, professor and former Brooklyn Assistant D.A., Barry Latzer, to discuss his new book, ‘The Myth of Overpunishment’ as they compare America to El Salvador, brainstorm new and proven ideas to reduce crime, and discuss the danger behind America's lurch to the soft-on-crime nightmare we're currently living through.
