Does a focus on punishment for \u201creckless\u201d or \u201cdangerous\u201d drivers let everyone else off the hook and never force them to look at the larger harms of a transportation system based around personal car ownership? Those are the questions asked by Ian Loader, a professor of criminology at the University of Oxford, who argues that the law\u2019s focus on \u201cmotonormative punishment\u201d is just another way of masking the larger problems caused by a car-dominant society. In a new study, Professor Loader proposes a vastly different way of thinking about criminal punishment organized around five harm reduction principles. Plus, is it really wrong for news outlets to write headlines like \u201cPedestrian Hit By Car,\u201d or is there more to it than advocates are willing to admit?&amp;nbsp; ***Join The War on Cars on Patreon and listen to exclusive ad-free versions of regular episodes, Patreon-only bonus content, Discord access, invitations to live events, merch discounts and free stickers!*** SHOW NOTES: Read Professor Ian Loader\u2019s study,  \u201cBeyond Motonormative Punishment: On Road Safety as Environmental Regulation.\u201d Curious about motonormativity?
