Taking the Black: Restorative Justice and the Night’s Watch (Tyrion II, AGoT‪)‬ A Clash of Critics - Scholarly Criticism About A Song of Ice and Fire

In this episode we consider to what extent the Night's Watch plays a role in the idea of restorative justice in Westeros and ask how we can begin to talk about "community service" when the service performed is either not recognised or valued by significant proportions of the community.
