At some point the solution has to be people capable of murder have a change of heart and values. Enforcement provides incentive. Life is very unpleasant in prison. We want Raskolnikov’s cheesy change of heart, and not Bigger Thomas telling the Jewish lawyer there is no promised land. Kendrick gave us something like it in Blacker the Berry but it needs more saccharine sweetness. This is a Scrooge/Grinch moment, adults should scoff at it, and children should defend it. Moonlight?
