“All Roads Lead to Cornithaca” – “Don’t think of it as Early Release” Bumper Sticker

“Don’t think of it as Early Release” Bumper Sticker

Early Release could be described as an act of arrogance and dismissiveness: the arrogance to decide that they can judge the future behavior of criminals who have already displayed aberrant behavior and committed acts of violence, and the dismissiveness to treat the human beings who suffer from these acts as mere statistical phenomena.

Psychologists claim with “reasonable certainty” these acts will not be repeated, but in the light of a “replication crisis” in the psychological research that underpins these conclusions; what are the real odds? I would bet with a much more reasonable certainty that they won’t be apologizing to the victims if they’re wrong.
