The Individualization Of Punishment (1911)

""The Individualization of Punishment"" is a book written by Raymond Saleilles in 1911, originally published in French as ""L'Individualisation de la Peine"". The book explores the concept of individualized punishment, which is the idea that punishment should be tailored to fit the specific circumstances of each individual case, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Saleilles argues that punishment should take into account factors such as the offender's age, mental state, and social background, as well as the severity and nature of the crime committed. He also advocates for the use of alternative forms of punishment, such as probation or community service, rather than just imprisonment. The book is considered a seminal work in the field of criminology and has had a significant impact on the development of modern criminal justice systems. It is still widely studied and referenced today, particularly in discussions around the effectiveness and fairness of punishment.And With An Introduction By Roscoe Pound.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
