IntroductionThe high level of activity in the criminal justice system and the resulting productivity arise from a series of interconnected beliefs that the application of criminal sanctions to offenders is an essential and useful means to maintain existing morale. and political order. In other words, criminal punishment can be seen as a reinforcement of moral beliefs and social order.
