Women should not allow themselves to be caught up in the hype that says performance, meaning the motions, is what matters.

These days, children can text on their cell phone all night long, and no one else is seeing that phone. You don't know who is calling that child.

Generally speaking, the public appetite for criminal justice policy is just tough talk.

We need to incorporate that age-old concept of redemption into the work that we do in the criminal justice system in California.

What's important for my daughter to know is that... if you are fortunate to have opportunity, it is your duty to make sure other people have those opportunities as well.

My mantra about everything that has to do with public policy is: identify and reject the false choice.

I believe that a child going without an education is a crime.
