Criminal Justice :
describe what Retributivism and decarceration is, what might be appealing about it, and then present what you think is the strongest objection against it. Then, given what you said, which view do YOU think should guide
our legal system and why?

Objection 1 Retributivism views:

Retributivism is a form of revenge.

It urges us to bring further unnecessary harm upon the world.

It  focuses on justice, but what we really need from legal punishment is social order and safety.  Retributivism is willing to sacrifice this for the sake of justice.

Objection 1 Utlitariam  views:

Utilitarian principles sometimes call for punishing the innocent (as a deterrent) which is unacceptable.

Utilitarian principles sometimes call for unreasonably harsh punishments.

Utilitarian principles sometimes call for differential & inequal treatment for similar offenses, which is unjust

* The last part of this question is comparative, so make sure to give your reasons about
why one is not just good, but better than the other.
