An Anarchist Theory of Criminal Justice

Note: This is a living document, treat this as a first draft. I want to expand this in the near future to include talking points, history, and important figures in the movement. I also need to write an intro for this as well as flesh out the "what you can do right now" section. If anyone wants to collaborate on this, send me a DM or leave a comment with your suggestions. I'm probably going to take this to /r/anarchism as a sidebar suggestion when it's complete.
