Description

Explore the complex relationship between human psychology and justice in The Pleasure of Punishment. Part of the Routledge Advances in Criminology series, this academic work examines how punishment has provided audiences with pleasure across various historical eras. By analyzing contemporary philosophical arguments, the text investigates the emotional responses to watching tragedies, contemplating hell, attending executions, or imagining prisons. The book traces these experiences through ancient Greece, medieval Catholic Europe, early-modern absolutist states, and the post-1968 Western world. Readers will gain a deep understanding of how these moments of enjoyment were often judged as morally problematic. The study raises significant questions regarding the specific desires being satisfied and the nature of the enjoyment experienced by observers. This is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in the sociology and history of crime and punishment.
