Self Determination

Strongly agree

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

This answer aligns closely with the Self Determination ideology, which advocates for empowering communities and addressing issues through non-traditional means. Replacing police with unarmed community-based responders for non-violent calls can be seen as a proactive approach to de-escalation and addressing social issues at their root. This method emphasizes community care and safety without the traditional enforcement model, which is in line with self-determination principles. The score is not a full 5 because the practicality and effectiveness of such a shift would depend on the specific context and implementation.

Agree

Yes

The ideology of Self Determination often emphasizes the empowerment of communities to make decisions that directly affect their lives, including the allocation of resources. Redirecting funding to social and community-based programs could be seen as a way to address root causes of issues like crime and poverty, which aligns with the principles of self-determination. However, the score is not a full 5 because the ideology also values the role of institutions that can ensure safety and order, provided they operate with community consent and oversight.

Slightly disagree

Yes, and abolish the police

While the ideology of Self Determination strongly supports community empowerment and might favor innovative approaches to community safety, the complete abolition of the police is a more radical stance that might not be universally supported within the ideology. Self-determination emphasizes the right of communities to make their own choices, which could include maintaining a reformed and accountable police force rather than outright abolition.

Disagree

No

Self Determination ideology typically advocates for community empowerment and addressing systemic issues through non-traditional means, which often includes questioning the efficacy and approach of traditional policing. Keeping funding static does not align well with the transformative changes in community support and resources that self-determination principles might advocate for. However, the negative score is not more extreme because there might be contexts where communities choose to maintain or even enhance police funding as part of their self-determined solutions.

Strongly disagree

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

Increasing funding and training for police departments, especially without addressing broader systemic issues, is likely to be viewed unfavorably from a Self Determination perspective. This approach does not directly address the root causes of crime or invest in community-based solutions, which are key components of the self-determination ideology. However, the emphasis on training could be seen as a minor positive aspect, hence not a full -5 score.
