SOCB50H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Bycatch, Totalitarianism, Homicide
Document Summary
A deterrent: meets the two utilitarian terms, public as well, sends a message to people, this will happen to you if you do the same thing. If they murder the witness, they have a less chances of getting caught. Unintentionally, the rape or murderer thinks that i don"t lose anything. Capital punishment is bad b/c increase the amount of crimes committed, increases the problem itself not because it is inhumane. The punishment should be just a bit excessive, punishment creates unhappiness, it can be justified if it prevents more evil. Deviance can be controlled by changing the rules, they all have free will and agency so the only thing we can do is change the rules. The determinace measures we have in place are all of the same source, can we people. We should not terrorize people rather rationalize people, in conformity people are living in a unhappiness life.
