Document Summary

Deciding what is and isn"t allowed, authorizing the killing of individualism for justice. The formation of the idea of criminal justice: an overview. Trans-political system of thought: connection between crime and punishment is lacking, the inliction of pain is a recipe for justice, there cannot be justice if crime goes unpunished. Crime isn"t just a conlict between individuals. Progressive separation of civil/criminal: before the 12th century the way groups dealt with conlict rarely involved a 3rd party making a decision, except in rare cases ex. 17th century: monopoly of royal justice over crime: typically people agree in criminology, in the 17th century. The use of punishment has to be used to make citizens fearful of the sovereign: locke believed in the right we have to take the law into our own hands. If the sovereign isn"t governing properly we have the duty for revolution.
