graeham comments on "Questions About Shaken Baby Syndrome"

By graeham

Interesting in such cases that the focus seems to be so much on retribution, whereas many other proceedings are more on deterrence (steal something = go to jail) or prevention (murder = locked up to prevent future crimes).


Here, the crime seems to be usually without motive, except perhaps a short-term rage. Presumably, the accused was unable to stop their actions (no point in deterrence) and would rarely be in such a position again (compared to serial criminals or crimes caused by incompetence).
