somewhat dated but still a very strong argument that shame is the source of all violence

This book was ridiculo...

This book was ridiculous. It was written by a Massachusetts state prison psychologist and helps illustrate what is wrong with Massachusetts as a whole. He advocates coddling criminals and refuses to accept that some people are just bad....that there is nothing you can do to change them or make them behave in a socially acceptable way. The author advocates what so many other Massachusetts residents advocate instead, more social entitlement programs, more money thrown at undeserving people and more hugs for felons. The "real life" criminals he describes are unrealistic and sound utterly contrived. In summary, this book reads like a limousine-liberals wet dream, it does *not* read like a realistic solution to any of our social problems.
