But it is clear enough how to begin: with a zero-tolerance policy for politicians, journalists, and scientists who employ dehumanizing propaganda in public discourse about crime. At the very least, we should agree that it is not possible to make democratic decisions about the structural problems in our society when thinking of our fellow citizens as gangsters and thugs.
