"Abortion on parole: Access to reproductive care cannot exclude those in our prison systems" (@TheHillOpinion) https://t.co/f0ixt7bGr1

[Columbia Justice Lab @CUJusticeLab]

"Reproductive choice is the most immediate example of how restrictions on liberty and autonomy…long-imposed on those under the control of the criminal legal system are expanding to society at large," write @Vivian_D_Nixon and @DavidMuhammad in @TheHillOpinion.

Historically, young people are responsible for a small portion of shootings and homicides across the country.

That remains the case today, even as regressive rhetoric resurfaces in our most hallowed institutions, @DavidMuhammad argues: https://t.co/JOFFvaejyQ

.@DavidMuhammad warns against blaming kids for the recent rise in violence. We've been there before as a country during the "superpredator" era, and it was ugly, harmful, and racially divisive. @NICJR01 @CUJusticeLab https://t.co/sByezowmaO

"It is more crucial than ever for Americans to understand that youth crime continues a remarkable and steady overall decline as the nation incarcerates fewer young people."

Read @DavidMuhammad response to national increases in gun violence.

"Despite the complex reasons for the increase in shootings, politicians and news media too often ignore the facts, instead blaming America’s youth for the crimes of a highly concentrated, high-risk few."

A commentary from @DavidMuhammad: https://t.co/JOFFvaejyQ

[David L Muhammad @DavidMuhammad]

Youth are not the culprits - Americans should know that youth crime continues a remarkable and steady overall decline.

Investing a fraction of funds in outreach workers & life coaches, & yes even in modest stipends, can most importantly save lives, but also save millions in government spending.

'This is a community that was already under-employed, unemployed, impoverished, who are now hit by a huge economic impact. This kind of desperation and devastation certainly has contributed mightily to the increase.' @DavidMuhammad
