    There are both positives and negatives to Beccaria’s ideas of punishment. His idea was to prosecute and sentence an individual for a crime based on the severity of the offense. He did not see a need to explain the motivation for the act (Freilich 2015). This is a weakness in that an individual is incarcerated for a crime and there is no understanding as to why the crime was and no rehabilitation is done. Furthermore‚ in order for a program to work based on this idea‚ one would have to understand

    Sex offender registration is a vital part of the corrections system as it keeps track of those who have committed crimes of a sexual nature against innocent victims. However‚ the sex offender registration system that is in place now has had its own beginning and changed over time to become the system it is today. J. Edgar Hoover‚ who was the director of the FBI in 1937‚ “declared a war on the ‘sexual criminal’ and implored the American people to consider the fact that the ‘sex fiend‚ most loathsome

    be discussing which type of punishment deters crime most effectively. I will be discussing if the consequences of punishment provide many benefits for crime and society.

    1 Against the Death Penalty By Ivonne Perez October 10‚ 2014 Sociology 1 Capital Punishment is an issue that is constantly debated. I do not support Capital Punishment for many reasons.
