Topics
Robin Steinberg: 本书的核心观点是即使面对那些犯下严重罪行的人,我们也应该尝试理解他们的背景和经历,并对他们抱有同情心。她认为,人们不应该仅仅以他们犯下的最糟糕的错误来评判他们的一生。作为一名公共辩护律师,她多年的经验让她深刻认识到,刑事指控只是事情的开始,更重要的是要了解指控背后的真相以及被告本身。她认为,理解和同情心能够帮助我们超越人们最糟糕的时刻,促进社会正义。她还批判了现有的保释制度,认为该制度对低收入人群造成了极大的不公平,并呼吁改革。 她以自身经历为例,讲述了她在职业生涯中遇到的许多案例,这些案例都体现了司法系统中存在的缺陷和不公正。她认为,司法系统应该更加关注被告的生活状况,提供全面的法律援助,而不是仅仅关注刑事案件本身。她还强调了人际关系的重要性,认为通过与被告建立联系,能够更好地了解他们的情况,并为他们提供帮助。 她还分享了她与警官的互动经历,说明即使是立场对立的人,也可以通过沟通和理解,找到共同点。她认为,同情心不仅能够帮助我们理解他人,也能激励我们采取行动,为社会做出改变。 Simon Sinek: 作为本书的出版人,他高度赞扬了Robin Steinberg的工作,认为她的观点对于当今社会至关重要。他认为,Robin Steinberg的经验和教训可以帮助人们学会对那些与自己观点强烈抵触的人抱有同情心,从而在分歧中寻找共同点,推动社会进步。他认为,这本书会挑战读者,让读者感到不舒服,甚至会让读者哭泣,但书中的教训对现代社会至关重要。他与Robin Steinberg的对话中,也表达了他对司法系统中存在问题的担忧,并认同Robin Steinberg对保释制度的批判。他认为,恐惧是阻碍人们理解和同情他人的主要因素,而克服恐惧,才能真正实现社会正义。
