Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The exploration of punishment reveals it as an irrational act rooted in ritual, rather than a pursuit of justice or law. Philip Smith challenges the conventional beliefs surrounding criminal punishment, examining the societal concerns and shifting attitudes toward various forms of punishment throughout history. He delves into the complexities of how society seeks to control evil, suggesting that the methods of punishment often perpetuate rather than resolve the issues they intend to address.
