How Is Crime Dealt With In Different Societies?
Overzicht
What should a society do with someone who breaks its rules? Lock them away to keep everyone else safe? Frighten others out of copying them? Make them suffer because they deserve it? Or try to change them so they never offend again? Different societies answer these questions very differently. Some still use the death penalty; others have abolished it. Some rely on prison; others on fines, community work or simple public shame. The way a society punishes reveals what it believes punishment is for.
In this lesson you will learn the main aims of punishment and the forms it takes, from prison and fines to cautions, probation and the informal shaming now seen on social media. You will study how the police try to prevent and detect crime through targeting, surveillance and different styles of policing, and you will see how all of this varies across societies. By the end you will be able to weigh whether punishment should aim above all to deter, to protect, to punish or to reform.
