About the event

Socratic Society Week 5 Discussion: The Purpose of Punishment

Join the Socratic Society for a group discussion on the purpose of punishment. Is it retribution, rehabilitation or incapacitation? Does an eye for an eye make the whole world blind? Or is the cat o'nine tails the epitome of justice? Or should rule-breakers be deported to Tasmania? Upon what consistent principles should we decide appropriate punishments, or lack thereof, for the breaking of laws?
