Humanism

Very strongly agree

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

This approach aligns closely with humanist values, which prioritize the dignity, rights, and welfare of all people. By replacing police with unarmed community-based responders for non-violent calls, this answer emphasizes a non-violent, community-focused approach to addressing issues that do not necessarily require a police presence. This could lead to de-escalation of potentially volatile situations and a reduction in unnecessary confrontations between police and community members, fostering a more cooperative and supportive community environment.

Strongly agree

Yes

Humanism emphasizes the value and agency of human beings, individually and collectively, and generally prefers critical thinking and evidence over acceptance of dogma or superstition. Redirecting funding from police departments to social and community-based programs aligns with humanist principles that advocate for addressing the root causes of societal issues, such as poverty, education, and mental health, rather than solely focusing on punitive measures. This approach is seen as a more effective way to build healthier communities and prevent crime in the long term.

Disagree

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

Humanism might support the idea of improving police training to ensure more humane and effective law enforcement. However, the emphasis on increasing funding specifically in higher crime rate communities without a simultaneous or greater emphasis on addressing the root social and economic causes of crime might not fully align with humanist principles. Humanists would likely advocate for a more balanced approach that includes significant investments in community and social services alongside any changes to policing.

Disagree

No

Humanism, with its focus on improving human welfare and happiness, might disagree with maintaining or increasing funding for police departments without addressing underlying social issues. Humanists may argue that simply funding police without also investing in social programs overlooks the importance of tackling the root causes of crime and societal problems, such as inequality, lack of education, and inadequate mental health care.

Strongly disagree

Yes, and abolish the police

While humanism advocates for societal reform and the improvement of human welfare, the complete abolition of the police might be seen as too extreme or impractical from a humanist perspective. Humanists typically support reforms that address systemic issues and improve societal well-being but may view the total abolition of police as neglecting the need for some form of law enforcement to protect citizens and maintain order, at least in the current societal context.
