One thing that bothers me about this article is the clear line between herself and the criminals. In general, there seems to be a tendency to classify criminals as a completely different type of human being. I think that this is a lot of where the problem comes from in the first place. It's drawing a firm "us vs. them" line that justifies your actions and motivations while disregarding the motivations of the people who have committed crimes. Yes, they may have committed crimes (and even maybe they haven't), but they're still human, and they have justifications for the things that they did. They have paths that led them to their choices, and it's foolish to completely disregard their humanity by sweeping them into a 'them' category that isolates their decisions and way of life from your own decisions and way of life.
