Synopsis
Criminal Responsibility And Social Constraint is a book written by Ray Madding McConnell in 1912. The book explores the concept of criminal responsibility and how it is influenced by social constraints. McConnell argues that while individuals are responsible for their own actions, society plays a significant role in shaping their behavior and determining the consequences of their actions. He examines various social factors such as poverty, education, and cultural norms that can impact an individual's criminal behavior. The book also delves into the legal system and how it should balance individual responsibility with social factors in determining criminal punishment. Overall, Criminal Responsibility And Social Constraint provides a thought-provoking analysis of the complex relationship between individual responsibility and social influence in the context of criminal behavior.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
