A disappointment of responses to the Covid-19 crisis is that governments have not invested massively in public housing. Global crises are opportunities for macro resets of policy settings that might deliver lower crime and better justice. Justice Reinvestment is important, but far from enough, as investment beyond the levels of capital sunk into criminal justice is required to establish a just society. Neoliberal policies have produced steep declines in public and social housing stock. This matters because many rehabilitation programmes only work when clients have secure housing. Getting housing policies right is also fundamental because we know the combined effect on crime of being truly disadvantaged, and living in a deeply disadvantaged neighbourhood, is not additive, but multiplicative. A Treaty with First Nations Australians is unlikely to return the stolen land on which white mansions stand. Are there other options for Treaty negotiations? Excellence and generosity in social housing policies might open some paths to partial healing for genocide and ecocide.

对 Covid-19 危机的反应令人失望的是，政府没有对公共住房进行大量投资。全球危机是政策设置宏观重置的机会，可能会降低犯罪率和改善正义。司法再投资很重要，但还远远不够，因为建立一个公正的社会需要超出投入刑事司法的资本水平。新自由主义政策导致公共和社会住房存量急剧下降。这很重要，因为许多康复计划仅在客户拥有安全住房时才有效。制定正确的住房政策也很重要，因为我们知道真正处于不利地位和生活在极其不利的社区对犯罪的综合影响不是相加的，而是相乘的。与原住民澳大利亚人签订的条约不太可能归还白人豪宅所在的被盗土地。条约谈判还有其他选择吗？社会住房政策的卓越和慷慨可能会为部分治愈种族灭绝和生态灭绝开辟道路。
