In Canada, an estimated 150,000 Native children were stolen from their families and forced into residential schools. Designed to “kill the Indian and save the man,” these institutions isolated kids from their cultures and communities. Under this policy, Indigenous children often experienced sexual, physical, and emotional abuse, and were subjected to torture and medical experimentation, including studies on the effects of starvation. Canada’s last residential school closed in 1996, but both survivors and their families live with the persisting trauma. One legacy of the policy is a disproportionately high number of Indigenous people entangled in the criminal justice system. The harshest punishments fall on the most vulnerable in society, particularly minorities like First Nations, Inuit, and Métis. Those found guilty of a crime pay a steep price for their actions even after exiting a court or a jail, affecting not only their own lives but also the well-being of their communities. To limit the damage, many have called for a penal code that takes into account the severity of crimes committed and individuals’ criminal histories, and incorporates input from offenders’ support networks, like social workers and health-care providers. Following a Supreme Court ruling in 2012, courts in Canada are obliged to consider the impact of the life circumstances of Indigenous defendants during sentencing.

From her cell, Leila de Lima, a member of the country’s Senate, calls the 71-year-old ruler a “geriatric dictator wannabe” involved in “mass serialized murder.” Duterte had promised that his administration would be “bloody,” and after less than a year in power, he’s lived up to his pledge—as well as his sadistic nickname, “the Punisher.” Human rights organizations estimate that there have been over 7,000 vigilante executions of Filipino citizens accused of dealing or using illegal drugs. But, as Lima says in our Conversation section, Duterte’s “brutal crackdown has proven to be ineffective and only lead to more violence.” Though the Philippines may be an extreme case, many governments have taken a punitive approach to drug control, ignoring overwhelming evidence that favors a public-health strategy. Harsh punishment, militarized policing, and extrajudicial killings have yet to make any society safer or freer of banned substances.","PeriodicalId":85888,"journal":{"name":"World policy journal","volume":"34 1","pages":"1 - 2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1215/07402775-4191427","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41828313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
