Books about Wrongdoers from Amazon.com

Reports about Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo Bay, Bagram Air Base, secret CIA prisons, and other detention facilities run by the U.S. outside the country, have raised concerns about the treatment of prisoners in those facilities. Yet their treatment is different only by degree from the treatment of people jailed and imprisoned in the U.S. and other countries. And there is certainly nothing new about the physical and psychological mistreatment of imprisoned people. Brutalization of suspected wrongdoers was elevated to an art form during the middle ages in Europe, and there are credible stories of atrocious treatment of prisoners going back thousands of years. Awareness that the mistreatment of people considered by society to be wrongdoers is pervasive and not the consequence of a few "bad apples," is a necessary first step to exploring options to break that millenium long cycle of violence. Dehumanization Is Not An Option contributes to increasing that awareness..

This study analyzes the reasoning process through which individuals determine what consequences are appropriate for those who do wrong. The authors presented six cases of wrongdoing to a large number of teenagers and young adults. This sample was asked what consequences would be appropriate for the wrongdoers and why those proposed consequences would be appropriate. On the basis of the data obtained from the participants, the authors constructed a taxonomy to use in categorizing features of moral reasoning. The authors then applied the taxonomy to compare group and individual modes of moral decision making. The study is significant in its reliance on original data and on its analysis of the thought processes involved in moral decision making..

From the supplier: George Sher's theory of deserved punishment is unable to account for cases in which wrongdoing does not result in unfair advantages. Sher attempts to connect punishment with distributive justice by suggesting that punishment is deserved inasmuch as the unfair advantage gained by wrongdoing is offset. According to Sher's diachronic theory of fairness, punishment is also deserved when it occurs in response to transgression of a first-order ethical norm. A problem for the theory concerns the justification it provides for disparate treatment of wrongdoers who are morally indistinguishable.
