Présentation de l'éditeur
The expenditures in connection with police, courts, and prisons exceed in amount the outlay for the con servation and improvement of health, the necessities and conveniences of travel and intercourse, high ways, parks, and playgrounds, and about equal the costs of education.1 When any one begins to philosophize about the raison detre of this enormously expensive arrange ment for dealing with crime and criminals, he natu rally asks first for its purpose What is the object of it all? What kind of return does this investment bring in? Society has schools for the ignorant. It has accident stations, ambulance corps, dispen saries, and hospitals for the injured and diseased. It has special educational institutions for the feeble minded, the blind, the deaf, and the dumb. It has homes for the aged, the infirm, and the incapacitated. 1C f.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the aims of criminal punishment and their historic evolution. The author argues that the four main purposes of punishment are: retribution (causing harm to an offender to match harm done to a victim), deterrence (preventing future crime through the threat of punishment), reformation (rehabilitating or improving the offender), and expiation (cleansing or purifying the offender). The author considers the strengths and weaknesses of each theory, ultimately rejecting expiation as an unrealistic and unachievable goal. This book explores the complex history, motivations, and justifications surrounding criminal punishment in Western society, and offers valuable insights for understanding the principles and practices of modern criminal law. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330256947_0
