The Problem with Punishment is a podcast about how our cultural obsession with punishment has led to painful failures to address some of the most pressing issues we face. And even worse when punishment fails, the pain of that doesn’t fall equally across communities. But some New Yorkers have felt that pain and decided that we can do better. We’ll meet innovators, risk-takers – people who are committed to being problem-solvers and have figured out strategies that work better than punishment, and are doing them in the real world.

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is still far too common. It's important to end IPV, on that many of us agree. So is punishing people who hurt their intimate partners going to end IPV? What can we do instead? For our final episode of Season One, we discuss with a number of women working in the movement: Judith Clark at the Survivors Justice Project, Kassiel Gonzalez at VIP Mujeres, Purvi Shah and Darlene Torres.
