Abstract
- The article argues that mercy is not limited to judges or executives but can be exercised by anyone in a position of power within the criminal justice system, including police officers and corrections officers. It emphasizes the importance of cultivating a disposition of mercifulness throughout the criminal justice process, from policing to prison, rather than focusing solely on individual acts of mercy.
