I teach that community safety, justice, rehabilitation, and meaningful consequences must be balanced to instill in the community confidence in the criminal justice process. It is a great privilege to introduce Fresno’s future lawyers and leaders to concepts of ethics, due process, principles of justice, and the laws and procedures that determine how our society will be judged. By discussing that “balance” in class, it is my hope that my students will one day contribute constructively to shaping and understanding an evolving system of criminal justice. I share Dostoyevsky’s observation that, "A society should be judged not by how it treats its outstanding citizens but by how it treats its criminals." -Douglas Treisman
