Phrenologists were something else. Clark you seem an absolute delight to be acquainted with. (Unless.. he wasn’t a serial killer or anything right?)

But.

If your employer withholds wages from you, and you find out, you can’t really call the police. If you do, they’ll tell you that you have to go through some ombudsman and maybe you’ll get it back (for a fee. You might need need a class action if enough people have the same issue).

So it’s interesting how the criminal justice system is skewed more toward benefitting the wealthy and powerful.

It’s funny how what we define as ‘criminal’ is almost exclusively those acts which get under the skin of the rich and powerful. It’s almost as though the criminal justice system is a tool they use to control and discipline those beneath them (which I think is basically a Marxist perspective on criminology? Idk much about philosophy yet)
