Agree

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

Replacing police with unarmed community-based responders for non-violent calls aligns with the Temperance movement's emphasis on addressing social issues through community engagement and support rather than through punitive measures. This approach could be seen as a way to address the root causes of issues like addiction and poverty, which are of concern to the movement.

Agree

Yes

The Temperance movement, historically focused on promoting moderation and self-control, particularly regarding alcohol consumption, might see the value in redirecting some funding towards social and community-based programs that address root causes of crime and addiction. However, they might not fully support a complete redirection of funds away from law enforcement, recognizing the need for a balanced approach to public safety.

Slightly agree

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

The Temperance movement might support the idea of increasing funding and training for police departments in higher crime rate communities, especially if such measures include training on dealing with issues related to substance abuse and mental health. However, their support would likely be conditional on ensuring that such funding also supports community-based interventions and not solely punitive measures.

Neutral

No

While the Temperance ideology emphasizes social reform and the improvement of individual and community well-being, it does not inherently oppose law enforcement or the necessity of police departments. The movement might advocate for a balanced approach that includes both policing and social programs, rather than opposing funding for police departments outright.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and abolish the police

The call to abolish the police would likely be strongly opposed by the Temperance movement, which historically has sought to work within societal structures to enact change rather than dismantle them entirely. The movement's focus on moderation and reform suggests a preference for transforming and improving institutions rather than abolishing them.
