Jodie Emery ran for office in the May 2009 provincial election. She is the BC Green Party's policing amp;amp; crime critic, and was elected as a Director-At-Large at the 2010 BC Green Party Annual General Meeting. Jodie knows drug prohibition is the cause of gang violence and murders plaguing Vancouver, and understands that more law enforcement and stiffer prison sentences only makes the problems worse as proven by a comprehensive study by Canadian researchers which concluded that tough on crime prohibition laws have no effect on drug supply and may boost rates of violence in the country.
