Harvard University's Institute of Politics Pollsters Find Youth Distrusts Justice System. Is This A Surprise?

Have IOP pollsters considered asking "Would diverting the energy exerted in protests, looting, arson, rock throwing, engaging police in combat, destruction of tranquility, and vandalism to reforming the criminal justice system, have any effect?"

Sixty-one percent thought the U.S. should let the U.N. take the lead in addressing these global conflicts, down from 74 percent in 2014.
