Read: Amnesty International Article Go to the Discussion Forum: Answer the Questionsby 7/23. MAKE SURE YOU RESPOND TO AT LEAST TWO YOUR CLASSMATES’ POSTINGS. Note: if you have problems downloading the reading and documentary segment, please get in touch immediately Discussion Questions:1. Why has the history of criminology been described as a ‘history of silencing and exclusion’? 2. Discuss the significance of the case of the regicide Damiens for criminology. 3. Why were witches persecuted during the time of the ancien regime? 4. What was ‘The Bloody Code’ 5. Clearly the treatment of witches and Damiens, and The Bloody Code, constitute ‘cruel and unusual punishment’. Beccaria wrote passionately against the death penalty. He saw it as against the social contract, that it amounted to legalized ‘murder’, that it damaged society and did not work as a deterrent. The Eighth Amendment of the American constitution ensures individuals protection from cruel and unusual punishments. Amendment VIII: Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. But what is cruel and unusual punishment? Today the death penalty – that is still used by many states – is often described as ‘cruel and unusual’ (see the argument presented in the Amnesty International article). Do you agree? Justify your response.2 Further Reading: the Death Penalty Information Center which provides information on the United States (http:www.deathpenaltyinfo.org) and the organization pro-death penalty.com which aims to speak for the ‘rights’ of victims (http:www.pro- deathpenalty.com). Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch also provide information on the use of the death penalty around the world. .
