Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, first published in the early 19th century, argues that the system of punishment in England is too severe, ineffective, and badly organized. The author presents evidence that the current system does not deter criminals and suggests that prevention of crime should be the primary goal of the legal system. He examines capital punishment, pardons for capital crimes, and the conditions in prisons and convict ships. The author also discusses the social causes of crime, such as poverty and lack of education, and argues that these should be addressed in order to reduce crime rates. The book concludes with a proposal for a new criminal code that would be more humane and effective. Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
