Crime and Punishment. Some experts argue that people have been punished as an attempt to change conduct and deter crimes for thousands of years, with very little success; crime still continues to be prevalent in modern societies. Do you agree that we need a new paradigm for sentencing? If yes, provide details of what a new paradigm should look like. If you disagree, and favor the current punishment/deterrent schemes, provide support for your views that traditional approaches to crime and punishment are the most effective available.
