The Punishment And Prevention Of Crime (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781163361269)

The Punishment and Prevention of Crime is a book written by Edmund F. Du Cane that explores the various methods of punishing and preventing crime. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part discussing the history and philosophy of punishment, while the second part delves into the practical aspects of punishment and prevention. Du Cane argues that punishment should serve as a deterrent to crime, rather than simply being a means of retribution. He also discusses the importance of rehabilitation and education in preventing crime, as well as the role of law enforcement and the criminal justice system in maintaining public safety. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the various forms of punishment, including imprisonment, fines, and corporal punishment. Du Cane also explores the use of alternative forms of punishment, such as community service and restorative justice. Overall, The Punishment and Prevention of Crime is a thought-provoking and informative book that offers insights into the complex issue of crime and punishment. It is an essential read for anyone interested in criminal justice, law enforcement, or social policy.1885.
