Penal Discipline - Mary Gordon - Bog

Penal Discipline by Mary Gordon is a thought-provoking and insightful book that explores the concept of punishment in the criminal justice system. Gordon argues that the current system of penal discipline is flawed and ineffective, and that a new approach is needed to address the root causes of crime.Drawing on her extensive experience working with prisoners and ex-offenders, Gordon examines the psychological and social factors that contribute to criminal behavior. She argues that punishment alone is not enough to deter crime, and that a more holistic approach is needed that takes into account the complex interplay of factors that lead people to commit crimes.Throughout the book, Gordon challenges many of the assumptions that underlie the current system of penal discipline, and offers a compelling vision for a new approach that emphasizes rehabilitation, education, and community-based solutions. She also provides practical advice for policymakers, practitioners, and activists who are working to reform the criminal justice system.Overall, Penal Discipline is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of crime and punishment, and in working towards a more just and effective criminal justice system.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
