Democratic Socialism

Very strongly agree

Yes, replace police with unarmed community based responders for non-violent calls

Democratic Socialism strongly agrees with replacing police with unarmed community-based responders for non-violent calls. This approach aligns with their belief in addressing the root causes of crime and reducing the reliance on law enforcement. It also aims to reduce instances of police violence and improve community relations. Prominent Democratic Socialists like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have advocated for this approach, and some cities, like Eugene, Oregon, have implemented programs like CAHOOTS, which sends unarmed responders to non-violent calls.

Strongly agree

Yes

Democratic Socialism generally supports redirecting some funding from police departments to social and community-based programs. This is because they believe that addressing the root causes of crime, such as poverty and lack of education, is more effective than relying solely on law enforcement. Examples include the support for the 'Defund the Police' movement by prominent Democratic Socialists like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Disagree

Yes, and abolish the police

While some Democratic Socialists may support the idea of abolishing the police, it is not a mainstream position within the ideology. Most Democratic Socialists advocate for police reform and reallocating resources to social programs rather than completely abolishing the police. However, there are some more radical factions within the movement that may support this idea, which is why the score is not a full -5.

Disagree

No, increase funding and training for police departments in higher crime rate communities

Democratic Socialism generally disagrees with increasing funding and training for police departments in higher crime rate communities without also investing in social and community-based programs. They argue that addressing the root causes of crime, such as poverty and lack of education, is more effective than relying solely on law enforcement. However, some Democratic Socialists may support increased training for police officers to improve community relations and reduce instances of police brutality.

Strongly disagree

No

Democratic Socialism generally disagrees with maintaining or increasing funding for local police departments without redirecting some funds to social and community-based programs. They argue that the current system disproportionately targets and harms marginalized communities and that investing in social programs can help address the root causes of crime. This is evident in the policy proposals of Democratic Socialists like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
