He comes at it from a slightly different angle—the criminal justice system—but approaches it the same way, dissolving the question down to blameworthiness and free will. He also reaches the same conclusion; our reaction as a society should be based on influencing future outcomes, not punishing past actions.
There are so many observant writers who have written about the topic: to be sympathized vs. to be condemned. To me, human right violation comes in with two forms, i.e. either curbing personal freedom by portraying it as criminal behaviors (condemned) or as sickness (sympathized), neither way is acceptable. “A die for not to be obedience might be the only choice, aligned with ‘that half naked man.‘” My learning/take away: humans’ vendibility, one “When the going gets tough, the tough get going”
A little googling will bring up some very convincing lectures on the subject by the author. Unfortunately he hasn’t made many headlines or much headway in actually implementing these ideas.
