The article presents information on justice Harry Blackmun and criminal punishments in Singapore. Blackmun's evolution is a consequence of his insistence on placing the day-to-day human reality of law at the center of decision-making. In one case he wrote of the "distressful life and future" faced by women without legal abortion; in 1989 he warned of the inevitable and brutal consequences." The case of the American teenager sentenced in Singapore to six lashes of a brine-soaked rattan cane for crimes of spray-painting and petty vandalism reveals more about American attitudes than about Singapore justice.
