7/10. Better than, and a good companion to, the more polemic and PC-political 'In Defense of Flogging', which often gets bogged down in the treatment model of penology and in excusing/blaming the criminal propensities of certain 'ancestry groups' on the typically-nebulous 'bad neighborhoods' (what makes it a bad neighborhood? the people), 'systemic oppression and injustice', etc. Such excusing is not to be found here: Graeme is colorblind.

Okay.
