The Paradox of Punishment

- Reflections on the Economics of Criminal Justice

About The Paradox of Punishment

Finally, the book argues that, in addition to the threat of criminal sanctions, law inculcates principles of acceptable behavior among citizens by asserting that certain acts are "against the law." This "expressive function" of law can influence behavior to the extent that at least some people in society are receptive to such a message.
