Week 4 Discussion
Please respond to the following:
·
Discuss Benthams’s claim that punishment is an evil (1). Can
punishment, including capital punishment, be justified on utilitarian grounds?
Or does punishment of criminals actually decrease the overall happiness of
society, as Bentham maintains?
·
What policy would a utilitarian most likely propose for dealing
with potentially dangerous criminals?
·
Be sure to respond to at least one of your classmates’ posts.
