English Usage - Concerned - English editing.

The idiomatic expression as far as . . . is/are concerned is well established and is a useful way of introducing a new topic or theme or of stating your opinion, especially in conversation. But it can also sometimes be unnecessary or long-winded: for example, the punishment does not seem to have any effect so far as the prisoners are concerned could be more economically expressed as the punishment does not seem to have any effect on the prisoners.
