First, educate yourself. For example, don't assume that because someone has been arrested, that somebody actually did commit a crime or that whatever happens to them they deserve. Like, “If you didn't steal that car, you wouldn't find yourself in this horrible cage where you're being brutalized on a regular basis.” There has to be a way for us to manage our various social issues without resorting to a kind of cold and flip brutality. The main thing that people can do,  from the perspective of them going about their lives, is just remembering that even somebody who commits a crime is a human being and the way that we respond to crime should not be to brutalize and dehumanize someone.Want more fromTeen Vogue?
