Excerpt from What Is True Civilization: Or Means to Suppress the Practice of Duelling, to Prevent, or to Punish, Crimes, and to Abolish the Punishment of Death
Admitted, says the necessity that men should unite to form societim; and supposing the existence of those covenants, which forcibly would have been caused to proceed from the opposi tion of personal interests, we meet with a progredve series of dis orders, the highest term of which are those, which most directly affect society menacing its existence, and the lowest, the least injury done to an individual member of a society. O O O O O O O 0 fi fi 3 O If we were able, by means of geometry, to sub Init to calculation and to demonstration the infinitely varied and hidden causes of human actions, and the relation which these se tions bear to man, there ought to be a proportional scale of punish ments, which beginning from the most intense one, to correspond to the greatest criminal enormity, should descend, step by step, to the least intense punishment, to meet the slightest criminal offence.

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book argues that dueling was born from the corruption and abuse of civilization and the indolence of laws. The author goes on to detail a number of moral and physical causes of dueling and other crimes that originated from common causes, and introduces detailed suggestions and arguments for how to prevent such evils. This book discusses the history of discipline and its relevance today, the relationship between discipline and the prevention of crime, and the role of national discipline in preventing dueling and other crimes. The author presents a convincing argument that discipline is essential for preventing crime and that the lack of it is a major contributing factor to the prevalence of crime in society. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the prevention of crime and the promotion of justice.
