W. Scott Would Have Been Jailed For Not Paying Child Support. Why Not Shoot Him In The Back?


Like many Americans, Walter Scott risked time in jail for his failure to pay child support. "On April 4, he was pulled over for a broken taillight, fled on foot and, after a scuffle with a police officer, was fatally shot in the back. ... Walter Scott’s death has focused attention not just on police violence, but also on the use of jail to pressure parents to pay child support, a policy employed by many states today. Though the threat of jail is considered an effective incentive for people who are able but unwilling to pay, many critics assert that punitive policies are trapping poor men in a cycle of debt, unemployment and imprisonment. The problem begins with child support orders that, at the outset, can exceed parents’ ability to pay."Frances Robles and Shaila Dewan in The New York Times
