Rounding up lots and lots of (holiday weekend?) reading on crime and punishment and more
I am thankful for so very much this holiday season, including for all those who flag interesting pieces for the blog (and for the fact that I sometimes have the time to read — or at least skim — lots of writings about crime and punishment and more). And so, heading into a holiday weekend (when I hope to get some more reading done), here is a long list of pieces from various sources catching my attention:
