Chris Daw QC

Chris Daw QC, a Queens Council Barrister and author, challenges the effectiveness of the UK justice system. He advocates for closing prisons and legalizing drugs, arguing that current laws exacerbate crime rather than deter it. Daw shares insights on the need for compassionate rehabilitation over punishment, citing successful models from countries like Switzerland. He also contrasts the entrepreneurial aspects of the illegal drug trade with systemic failures, urging a radical rethinking of justice that prioritizes empathy and support for reintegration.
