Paperback. Condizione: 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.…
