Description: In Defense of Flogging by Peter Moskos Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description "Compelling... outrageous... by the end of In Defence of Flogging, Moskos might just have you convinced."-Salon.com Publisher Description Prisons impose tremendous costs, yet theyre easily ignored. Criminals- even low-level nonviolent offenders- enter our dysfunctional criminal justice system and disappear into a morass thats safely hidden from public view. Our "tough on crime" political rhetoric offers us no way out, and prison reformers are too quickly dismissed as soft on criminals. Meanwhile, the taxpayer picks up the extraordinary and unnecessary bill. In defence of Flogging presents a solution both radical and simple: give criminals a choice between incarceration and the lash. Flogging is punishment: quick, cheap, and honest. Noted criminologist Peter Moskos, in irrefutable style, shows the logic of the new system while highlighting flaws in the status quo. Flogging may be cruel, but In defence of Flogging shows us that compared to our broken prison system, it is the lesser of two evils.
