Crime & Punishment Lect 2

I've got feedback that I went too fast for Monday's lecture, (sorry about that, next time pls yell so that I know I'm going too fast) so here are the slides for those of you who didn't manage to copy in time. I didn't have time to really go through the last 2 slides on the eclectic approach and the various ways to punish criminals, these are quite important so do look through them again.
C & P slides

When you do revision for C&P, here are some questions to keep in mind:
1) Is there a 'one size fits all' punishment? Can we punish all criminals the same way?
2) Is there a best form of punishment (e.g. imprisonment or death penalty)? Or should we use a variety of methods to punish different kinds of criminals?
For most C&P questions, you should use the rationale for punishment (deterrence, incapacitation....) to support your answers
