Robina In Conversation Series
We Are All Criminals
Thank you for joining the Robina Institute of Criminal Law and Criminal Justice on April 17, 2018 for our latest Robina In Conversation, "We Are All Criminals, an In Conversation with Emily Baxter" at the University of Minnesota Law School.
View the video of the event below.
Emily Baxter presented the We Are All Criminals project and discussed some of the key points and observations about challenging society’s perceptions of what it means to be a criminal. She shared stories of individuals who have been left behind because of their record and stories of those who have had the luxury of forgetting prior criminal behavior that never resulted in them obtaining criminal records. She also discussed the existence and impact of racial disparities in the justice system and how those disparities reflect in criminal records, as well a public policy and collateral consequences related to criminal record. Professor Perry Moriearty (UMN Law School) moderated the event, and we heard from Richard McLemore II (Ujamaa Place), and Assistant Professor Ebony Ruhland (University of Cincinnati) about the impact of having a criminal record and how the number of conditions and structures of probation may be causing barriers for individuals.
