Что такое «вынесение законопроекта на [судейский] пленум»? Что это за процедура и какой у неё вес? Частичная декриминализация и дестигматизация самой репрессированной и самой массовой репрессированной группы в России (наркозависимые плас наркопотребитель:ницы) — это было бы очень большим событием, большой оттепелью (в сталинском значении). ⦾ https://theins.ru/news/281603 #newscommenting #news #narcophobia #massrepressions #SupremeCourtofRussia #decriminalization #softmorals

The updated "What is Driving Criminalization of Women and LGBTQ People?" publication from Interrupting Criminalization has been published!

I contributed data collection and analysis work, with much guidance and patience from Andrea and Rachael. Data from multiple sources along different points in the incarceration pipeline, make very clear the intense level of racial bias. Seeing this, along with the recent trend in increased incarceration and criminalization was sobering.

When you hear about the administration forbidding certain words and classifications in data sets and reports, know that it is an attempt to hide this.

The data analysis work was done with #emacs #gnuplot #clojure #duckdb and #orgmode in support of #prisonabolition #decriminalization and #socialjustice

Decriminalization does work but only if it's done in conjunction with the supports needed to help people. Govts and police are often overlooking that connection #Decriminalization #harmreduction #addictions #health

"Agency is also a major issue in the ongoing debate within government and policymaking circles as well as among scholars about the legalization, decriminalization, and criminalization of sex work. Supporters of criminalization (of sex workers or clients) tend to undervalue the issue of agency and portray sex workers as victims. Supporters of decriminalization or legalization tend to stress the value of the choice of those involved"—Euchner & Knill (Citation2015). >

Belgium decriminalized sex work in 2022. A new law provides legal rights comparable to other professions:

"The new law also establishes fundamental rights for sex workers including the right to refuse clients, choose their practices and stop an act at any moment...

"[S]ex workers will have access to health insurance, paid leave, maternity benefits, unemployment support and pensions. The legislation also establishes rules on working hours, pay and safety measures, addressing a long-standing gap in legal protections for those in the industry."

On a question asking if #Harris supported the #decriminalization at the federal level of drug possession for personal use, Harris checked “yes.” She wrote it was “long past time that we changed our outdated & discriminatory criminalization of #marijuana” & said that she favored treating drug #addiction as a #PublicHealth issue, focusing on #rehabilitation instead of #incarceration.

Neither Harris nor the questionnaire said anything about #fentanyl.
