“Ogeltree and Sarat mix a many serious rapist punishment with a bugaboo of secular category and influence in their book From Lynch Mobs to a Killing State. The professors astutely note that a genocide chastisement is mostly used as a bar to keep bad and unfortunate minorities in line in a incomparable white society.”
