  • the severity of intermediate Penal Sanctions a psychophysical scaling approach for obtaining community perceptions
    Journal of Quantitative Criminology, 1995
    Co-Authors: Robert E Harlow, John M Darley, Paul H Robinson
    Abstract:

    The use of intensive supervision programs (ISPs) and other forms of intermediate Penal Sanctions is increasing in the United States. This paper describes a preliminary investigation of the extent to which informed New Jersey residents believe that intermediate Sanctions that are currently being implemented in their state are severe. Using cross-modality matching of magnitude estimation techniques adopted from psychophysics, we obtained severity ratings of 32 sentences across six sentencing modalities (ISPs, probation, imprisonment, home detention, weekend sentencing, and fines) from respondents who had been briefed beforehand about what these sentences entail. Results indicate that our respondents agree that ISPs, weekend sentencing, and home detention have retributive “bite” and may be accepted as sentences in their own right. Probation was seen as being relatively lenient, while imprisonment was seen as highly severe.

  • hegel and the justification of real world Penal Sanctions
    The Canadian Journal of Law and Jurisprudence, 2016
    Co-Authors: Antje Du Boispedain
    Abstract:

    This article revisits Hegel’s writings on punishment to reconstruct from them a justification for the imposition of real-world Penal Sanctions. Tracing Hegel’s argumentative path from a bare retributive principle to his mature justification of state punishment, it argues that Hegel offers us convincing reasons for endorsing, in broad shape, the distinctive Penal institutions and practices of a modern nation-state. Hegel is also right to stress that punishment is – not merely conceptually, but also in the reality of our social world – a recognition of an offender’s status as a bearer of rights and participant in a system of mutual recognition that allows us to collectively build and maintain an order of freedom. This understanding of punishment sets significant limits to punishment’s permissible forms, particularly – but not only – with regard to the death Penalty. By focusing on what it means to honour an offender through punishment and by drawing attention to what legal punishment has in common with reactions to transgressions by the will more generally, I question whether the infliction of Penal suffering can, as such, be a legitimate aim of Penal agents. In conclusion, I argue that only a commitment to Penal minimalism, developable from Hegel’s thought, can give those subjected to real-world Penal Sanctions a complete answer to the question why they should accept their punishment as justified.
