Meaghan Mobbs joins She Thinks podcast to discuss this month's policy focus: Crime Affects American Communities and Safety. We look at the data on crime and talk about why the surge in carjackings and murder rates cannot be ignored. We also consider how women, who feel particularly vulnerable, have grappled with the aftermath of the “defund the police” movement. And finally, we discuss what can be done to help build back safer, stronger communities. Meaghan Mobbs is an experienced nongovernmental policy and political leader. She previously served as a presidential appointee to the United States Military Academy- West Point Board of Visitors and is a current gubernatorial appointee to the Virginia Military Institute Board of Visitors. She concurrently serves as Vice President for Client Strategies at LINK, where she provides strategic advice on public affairs matters. Meaghan is known for her research into understanding the unique psychosocial stressors of service during a time of war and has frequently published on this topic. Meaghan is a former paratrooper and combat veteran who serves on the board of multiple organizations dedicated to assisting service members in the transition to civilian life.--She Thinks is a podcast for women (and men) who are sick of the spin in today’s news cycle and are seeking the truth.
