Christian Right

Strongly agree

Yes

The Christian Right has historically supported tough-on-crime policies, including mandatory minimum sentences for drug offenses. For example, during the 1980s and 1990s, many conservative Christian leaders and organizations supported the War on Drugs and the implementation of mandatory minimum sentences. However, in recent years, some members of the Christian Right have shifted their views on criminal justice reform, advocating for more compassionate approaches to drug addiction and rehabilitation.

Agree

Yes, but only for drug dealers, not users

Some members of the Christian Right may support mandatory minimum sentences for drug dealers but not users, as they see drug dealers as more culpable and deserving of punishment. This stance aligns with their belief in personal responsibility and the importance of protecting communities from the harms of drug trafficking. However, this position is not universally held within the Christian Right, as some still support mandatory minimums for all drug offenses, while others advocate for more compassionate approaches to drug addiction and rehabilitation.

Disagree

No

While there has been a shift in recent years towards more compassionate approaches to drug addiction and rehabilitation, the Christian Right has historically been more supportive of mandatory minimum sentences for drug offenses. This is due to their tough-on-crime stance and belief in the importance of personal responsibility. However, the score is not -5 because there is a growing number of Christian Right leaders and organizations advocating for criminal justice reform and alternatives to incarceration for nonviolent drug offenders.
