Talking Points:
Hilary Clinton in 1992 was informed of the problem of universal health care:
If you have universal health care, it is only fair to have universal legal care.
Legal remedies for violence will prevent most health care costs.
Violence destroys the home, family, friends, career and health of the victim. The violence epidemic has overwhelmed District Attorneys (DAs). Communities must pay private attorneys to do the DA's job. However, most communities cannot afford private attorneys for violence prevention. Pro-bono attorneys turn down more cases than they take.
Peaceful people are easier targets for cowardly violence addicts. Addicts envy the peace of the healthy. Some prisons offer a cure for violence addiction. Others offer only time for them to heal on their own.
First, the community has to get the addict into a reformative or corrective system. Meanwhile, the community has to cloister and support the victim to allow time for healing. Communities that fail either task are doomed. They are doomed to repeat the cycle of injury and healing. They are doomed to repeat the cycle of victimization and unemployment. Such a negligent community incurs preventable costs.
The peaceful become burdened with prosecution and restorative justice. Many peaceful people already have legal expenses for prosecuting past violent crimes. Still, we are trying to help the addicts quit. In that way, we are health care providers. We pay with precious time to help the justice system administer health care to violence addicts.
If communities prosecuted all violent crime, they could end the interpersonal violence epidemic. A comprehensive justice plan prevents most injuries. It prevents the need for most emergency room visits. Prevention of domestic violence reduces the incidence of completed rape. That reduces the number of single parents. That reduces the number of impoverished individuals.
Society provides the violence addicts with the correctional care they need. It keeps the violent criminals from attacking others. It makes victims of violence resistant to subsequent attacks. It relieves the burden of society that currently falls squarely upon the shoulders of victims. It compensates any individual who helps heal victims or violence addicts. Anyone who has to do the DA's job is paid the DA's wages.
A restorative justice plan views with compassion both victim and offender. It ends the cycle of victimization and unemployment. It ends the cycle of injury and healing. It conserves health. It is the compassionate conservative choice.
