Politician: There should be a mandatory prison sentence for everyone convicted of a violent crime. Some people object to such a policy on the grounds that it overlooks differences among individual cases that, if taken into consideration by judges and juries, could result in less prison overcrowding. But we can dismiss this objection since these critics would take a different view if they had themselves been victims of violent crime. The politician's argument is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that this argument ['takes for granted that prison overcrowding is caused mainly by a policy of mandatory prison sentences', 'takes for granted that, without mandatory prison sentences, judges and juries would always give sentences that are too lenient', "takes for granted that one's view is unjustified if one would, under different circumstances, take a different view", 'attempts to establish a factual generalization using anecdotal evidence']
