Punishment Research Paper


Statistics show that there is a high rate of criminal recidivism in the United States. This raises the question, ?Does punishment deter crime??
Resources: Ch. 7 of Society and the UOPX Library
Research the affects of the four types of punishment?retribution, deterrence, rehabilitation, and societal protection?in relation to today?s American society, as outlined in the Summing Up: Four Justifications for Punishment table (p. 194) in Ch. 7 of the text. Try search terms such as ?effects of retribution on American society.?
Write a 1,050- to 1,750-word paper that summarizes your research results and addresses the following questions:
? Which type of punishment deters crime most effectively?
? Do the consequences of punishment provide any benefits for criminals and society?
