John Pfaff was quoted by WHYY about Larry Krasner winning the general election to become Philadelphia’s next district attorney.
John Pfaff, a professor at Fordham University’s School of Law, said Krasner’s win shows that Philadelphia voters want prosecutors who understand that “winning at all costs” is not the only thing seeking justice is about.
Rather, voters increasingly desire “prosecutors who pay close attention not only to the costs of crime but to the often-significant human and social costs that aggressive punishment impose as well,” Pfaff said.
