Rutgers at 50: The Aims and Consequences of Punishment

Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel

Abstract/Description

The School of Criminal Justice at Rutgers has been home to considerable scholarship about punishment philosophy and consequences. In the early years, much of the scholarship had to do with structuring the nature of punishments imposed on people convicted of crimes. Later years have examined the consequences of punishment, typically with a critical lens. This panel explores some of the themes that have emerged at the School.
