Deukmejian asserts that he will be the first California attorney general to truly lead in preventing youth delinquency. Crime prevention will be a high priority. California‘s criminal courts are scenes of unrealistic procedural ritual; Deukmejian will reduce this gamesmanship. He talks about drug trafficking and organized crime, and establishing a technology anti-crime unit. Deukmejian is committed to preserving the right to live without fear of becoming a victim of crime. He will enforce the death penalty. His opponent is a member of the national board of the American Civil Liberties Union, which advocates for people charged or convicted of crimes, not victims.
