CRIMINAL JUSTICE AND PUBLIC SAFETY

Fair Justice. Safer Communities.

The Common Values Party believes public safety and fair treatment under the law reinforce one another — they are not in conflict.

The Common Values Party supports

Compromise and Collaboration
Repealing blanket no-bail laws and restoring fair, individualized bail decisions made by qualified judges.
Compromise and Collaboration
Clear guidelines that let judges weigh the full range of relevant factors, including criminal history.
Compromise and Collaboration
Alternatives such as electronic monitoring for genuinely low-risk defendants.
Compromise and Collaboration
The right of both the defendant and the prosecution to appeal a bail determination.
Compromise and Collaboration
Candidates who stand with law enforcement and work alongside every agency to fight crime, gangs, terrorism, fraud, and retail theft.
Compromise and Collaboration
Every technological innovation that helps bring criminals to justice.
Compromise and Collaboration
The rights of the accused, including the presumption of innocence, the right to a jury, and every constitutional defense our system guarantees.
Law-abiding citizens come first — and so does a justice system that is fair, individualized, and accountable.
