BA (Hons) Criminology

Should the punishment fit the crime?

Why do we punish people? Should punishments fit the crime? What do we actually mean by this statement?

This interactive session will allow you to look at a range of examples of crimes and social harms, from the extremely serious to the not so serious. And you’ll explore the reasons why societies and states punish in the ways that they do and how they do it.

You’ll consider some of the basic philosophical justifications for punishment and the problems with each. The session will also allow you to look at a number of serious crimes and harms, some of which have been severely punished and others that have had no punishment at all. This discussion-based activity will give you an insight into the underlying problems with the idea that we are all equal before the law.
