This is a fascinating view of judge as artist and as a better-than. American judges are special, perhaps more able to tolerate being punishers by gifts of neuroscience and evolution. Claiming the right to punish based on evolutionary adaptations, this judge puts Preparation H on pangs of conscience that might remind him that the system is broken, that he is desensitized or conditioned more than genetically superior, and that he that he should humble. Neither science nor evolution is as simple as a cursory summary of current neuroscientific theories. Society includes a variety of people and human behaviors. We are no longer on bended knee to the Sun God King of France. The God-Doctor complex is diminishing rapidly. People even vote against the Fear of God tithing schedules to do the Starbucks Rosary of the Latte instead. However, judges hold onto their Divinity wigs. They dress differently. They perpetuate the worst of "us" versus "them" with legal literacies, court superstructures, technicalities, assumptions, They look backwards more than forwards (case law matters more than future societal harms when making decisions). Arguing or correcting a judge is forbidden. Judges demand the respect that was once only the purview of monarchs. In one hundred years, third party punishments without respect to individuality and genetics and least detrimental interventions will show the fashions of this Judge and his world to be primitive and shameful. On page one, he writes, "No doubt there are many examples of both naivete and error." This is correct. Add to that denial. I still give five stars because the book is well-written and informative. Understanding the intentional and unintentional harms that judges do and the internal dialogue used by this judge to justify that harm is enlightening. Negligence by judges is not criminalized; immunity creates an unreconciled debt to society and a disrespect for the numinous. Thank you for allowing me to see one judge's "crazy and evil" paradoxical world of blaming, excluding, excuses, mirroring, capriciousness, and assumptions. His descendants will have a window into the this judge's self-talk more than descendants of English judges who exported people to America and Australia, more than the descendants of judges who denied rights to Jews in Nazi Germany, more than the descendants of Inquisitors, more than descendants of slave galley owners, more than the descendants of many who participate in systems of atrocities. Let us hope this rationalization for the tough-minded temperament that operates without personal accountability for outcomes will be seen for what it is: primitive McDonald's drive-thru judging and the punishing parent-God judge. This self-portrait is a wet, symbolic, and shameful historical death mask that is hardening not only on the author but all of the highly compensated, liability-immune, privileged class of opinionated judges who personally benefit from a broken punishment-minded complex. Your honor, redemption is possible. Give us a new book with a vision for completely scrapping the current model. Propose a system that grows people instead of filling refrigerators with produce no one will eat. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Full of new and deep insights! *by H***A on June 16, 2014* Why do we have this seemingly irrational need for retribution? Why cannot punishment be all about utility? Why do we feel that we should not punish mad or clumsy people who have done us harm? Hoffman conducts a Copernican Revolution in our understanding of blame, punishment and forgiveness when he breaks these concepts free from all vague philosophical and ethical theories and connects them to where they all came from: Evolution. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A professional punisher analyzes punishment *by B***N on October 2, 2014* Very detailed and interesting dive into the process of punishment, from a multi-disciplinary point of view. The cool thing is this author is in the business of state punishment, so he has a front row seat to the process. Heck, he is the process. Very well researched and documented.
