Adelina Iftene

Adelina Iftene, a law professor from Dalhousie University, discusses the problematic resurgence of 'tough on crime' rhetoric by Mark Carney. She argues that this approach could lead to detrimental effects on marginalized communities. The conversation explores effective community safety measures, critiques the media's sensationalism around crime, and brings attention to issues within Canada's remand system. Iftene also highlights the financial burdens of pretrial detention and emphasizes the importance of understanding crime through socio-economic lenses.
