Investing in Public Safety and Crime Prevention

The hosts analyze an interview with Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson regarding the increase in violent crime in the city. They discuss the need for government investments in homelessness, violence prevention, youth employment programs, reentry services for formerly incarcerated individuals, and restoration and reparations. The chapter focuses on the lack of transparency in allocating funds to address these issues and criticizes politicians for advocating for defunding the police while misappropriating taxpayer money.
