Insight on the News, August 9, 1999 by Bernice Sandler, Sarah J. McCarthy
How can justice be achieved for victims of pig parties and sexual assault without trampling freedoms for everyone else? Penalties that focus punishments on the wrongdoers and minimize them for others would be the optimal solution. Current penalties do exactly the opposite. It would be a good start for the Supreme Court and American law schools to explore alternatives to threats of financial annihilation as a wholesale method of behavioral control. At least when the Mad Mechanics showed up, they had more than one tool in their box.
