35. Punishism
The obsessive, almost-sexual attraction towards the concept of punishment towards those of lesser social strata as oneself. Also, violent anger towards any suggestion that a particular punishment for a particular offense might have been excessive. See "zero tolerance", "mandatory sentencing".
