After spending time with police officers on ride-alongs, meeting with politicians on the state and federal level and grass roots organizations fighting for human rights, it's clear that our criminal justice system is still crippling communities of color through mass incarceration. Malcolm Jenkins

Time, Justice, Police, Roots, Color

Let me be clear - no one is above the law. Not a politician, not a priest, not a criminal, not a police officer. We are all accountable for our actions. Antonio Villaraigosa

Me, Police, Law, Police Officer, Clear

Our criminal justice system is fallible. We know it, even though we don't like to admit it. It is fallible despite the best efforts of most within it to do justice.

Best, Death, Justice, Day, End, Winning

You have young men of color in many communities who are more likely to end up in jail or in the criminal justice system than they are in a good job or in college. And, you know, part of my job, that I can do, I think, without any potential conflicts, is to get at those root causes. Barack Obama

Good, Job, Justice, College, Men, End

Power, Man, Society, Long, Guilt, Doubt

Only crime and the criminal, it is true, confront us with the perplexity of radical evil; but only the hypocrite is really rotten to the core. Hannah Arendt

Evil, Hypocrite, Crime, True, Us, Only

Step, Interesting, You, Understand, Fact

There'd never been a more advantageous time to be a criminal in America than during the 13 years of Prohibition. At a stroke, the American government closed down the fifth largest industry in the United States - alcohol production - and just handed it to criminals - a pretty remarkable thing to do. Bill Bryson

In the old days, you would have one lawyer to handle everything: speeding tickets, buying a house, contracts, litigation, real estate, copyrights, leasing, entertainment, intellectual property, forensic accounting, criminal offenses... the list goes on. Now, you have to have a separate lawyer for each one of those categories! James Belushi

Lawyer, Real Estate, You, Accounting

Community, Society, Law, Law Enforcement

War, Justice, Police, Tough, Legal

Life, World, Look, Done, Birth, Over

Let me be clear: as I have said repeatedly, I do not believe that all police officers are bad, nor do I believe that most are bad. But there must be a transparent, impartial and fair system to judge those that engage in criminal or unethical acts. Al Sharpton

Me, Police, Believe, Judge, Bad, Said

I did criminal defense work part-time, and that paid the bills for representing abused and neglected children... and for defending in juvenile court those kids the 'child protective system' had missed when it had the chance. Andrew Vachss

Work, Children, Child, Chance, Missed

Passion, Anger, Justice, Spark, You

Life is nothing but a competition to be the criminal rather than the victim. Bertrand Russell

Life, Competition, Victim, Nothing, Than

I am disturbed by how states abuse laws on Internet access. I am concerned that surveillance programmes are becoming too aggressive. I understand that national security and criminal activity may justify some exceptional and narrowly-tailored use of surveillance. But that is all the more reason to safeguard human rights and fundamental freedoms. Ban Ki-moon

I Am, Internet, Security, Understand

A duped newspaper or magazine could contend that a fiction-spouting journalist obtained part of his salary via fraud, and use a criminal proceeding to try and recoup that money.

Money, Organization, Legal, Fraud, Worth
