Jaws of Justice Radio
It is the intention of Jaws of Justice Radio to investigate how to achieve justice in America, this includes issues of economic injustice, political injustice and the criminal justice system. We want to put a human face on those caught in the grasp of injustice and those that are part of an unjust system. We strive to dispel the misconceptions created by the news and entertainment industry, politicians and our educational system.
Kansas City not only has a place near the top of the list in murder rate, but is also near the top in the incidence of domestic violence. Guest Host Susan Sanders talks with Mary Moore of the True Light Family Resource Center about her work with victims of domestic violence.
