Document Summary
Terrorism is not a traditional crime or war: criminal paradigm. Use to prevent more harm: war paradigm. Deadly force against combatants (in uniforms) is legitimate irrespective of immediate threat level. Legitimate targets: people in uniforms, people on military bases. Targeted killing: by the state"s agent, toward a person. Vagrancy act: removal of the severe sanctions, the dangerous poor. Forbids the rich and the poor to steal bread: distinction between formal side of the law and how it reads and its impact/purpose. Formal law vs. substantive law: rule of law is good because everyone is treated the same. But it"s a bad thing because some laws discriminate against some populations. Urban space: example: change the benches shape to prevent people from sleeping on them. Guilty of a crime previously for being homeless/jobless. Switched from being homeless to doing bad things: we criminalize the action, not the state of the person.
