This review is from: The Case Against Punishment: Retribution, Crime Prevention, and the Law (Paperback)
The beauty of this book is the balance between emotional and rational intelligence inherent on Golash's argument. My review may be biased by my own beliefs, as I am against punishment.I found the discussion of anger to be particularly interesting. There is something meaningful here that can be applied to everyday transgressions within relationships-- a reconfiguring of the way we perceive and experience our lives. Having read this book for a class, I noticed that it did trip some people up-- they were confused by what Golash was saying exactly. Others clearly rejected her basic premise because doing away with punishment is a revolutionary (I would even argue evolutionary) idea. It scares people. You have to be really open minded/hearted to appreciate this book fully. |
