- Donald Trump has a poor record on criminal justiceTrump has called for an expansion of the death penalty, and has refused to apologise for calling for the Central Park Five to face the death penalty. He is rash and reckless on criminal justice issues.
- Donald Trump is too silent on police brutality and right-wing violenceTrump is uncritical of police brutality and is lenient on right-wing violence and white supremacy. His tough-on-crime approach is selective and politically motivated.
- Joe Biden will reform the police force and the criminal justice systemJoe Biden will address the causes of crime and prevent crime, and will prioritise rehabilitation and redemption. He will review police training and wants to rebuild trust between communities and law enforcement.
