    I probably should have said “some liberals.” My experience is that younger liberals tend to hold the view that punishment shouldn’t be a goal of criminal sentencing, only rehabilitation, which I adamantly disagree with. Obviously, such a view is mainly held by the Far Left, but from what I’ve seen it seems to be getting more popular and thus more mainstream. Just my impression; I’d be happy to learn I’m wrong and that those liberals are more in the minority than they seem to me.
