Why Should We Punish? Theories of Punishment
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лис 2020
- When we punish people, we're harming them. So what makes it okay for us to do that? There are three main theories of punishment that answer this question in different ways. Retribution and Retributive theories say that wrongdoers simply deserve to suffer. Deterrence theories say that punishment is justified because it prevents future wrongdoing. And rehabilitation theories say that we're justified in punishing when we do it in an effort to reform the wrongdoers.

i dont like doing homework
Short and to the point explanation! Thank you so much
Thank you for helping me to write my paper of Philosophy <3
Loved your explanation. To the point and easy to grasp. Thankyou!
I don't understand why rehabilitation has to involve punishment. Of course forcing someone to do anything could maybe be seen as a restriction on their freedom and therefore a punishment, but putting someone back into school, with as place to live and with a mental help professional for example wouldn't really seem a punishment to me.
Working on my criminal law final, thank you!
stellar video!
I thought LOVE was supposed to be THE ANSWER. War and punishment retribution. Love creates only LOVE.
You could also mention Incapacitation.
What about states that incarcerate innocent people, and don't compensate them when (if ever) they are proven not guilty?
Thank You, Massachusetts.
Punishment doesn't make people better. It makes people worse.
What's the punishment which protects society? This person needs to be removed from society; they may "deserve" to feel hurt, others may learn from the example, and they perpetrator of a violence may learn from the consequence. But if the goal is to protect others from further violence, and the punishment isn't about the perpetrator, how is that categorized?
This is an interesting thought. And, for me, all three are applicable in different instances. As a parent I feel like some should apply more often than others. But certainly use all three.
Why should we punish people in the first place, though? Why even have to go with any of these theories?
Hi, This video is perfect for my class. Just to give you the correct credit can you provide me with the correct citation?
Do you think retribution is a legitimate justification for punishing people? Some object that it’s just an excuse to exact revenge or get vengeance.
I don't understand the concept on crime. Why do we need to punish a murderer. I understand that he is harmful for the society and most of us would not like to get ourselves killed(exception some people do want themselves to be killed). Keeping them in prison surely parents them from comitting more crimes. Giving death PENALTY surely prevent people to do crime.
Very interesting video! Do you have Twitter by any chance? I'm trying to build a small YT philosophy group for likeminded individuals! So we can support each other if your interested.
