I’m working on a criminal justice discussion question and need support to help me learn.
Murphy argues that since retributive punishment rests on the moral blameworthiness of the offender, we must ask the question: Why is it morally problematic to violate a criminal law? That is if retributivists argue that a person is morally blameworthy and must be punished, WHY is that person morally blameworthy?
Return to the board and read over the posts of your fellow classmates. Choose at least one classmate and create a post responding to his/her initial post on the Discussion Board. Be thoughtful in your response, indicating your agreement/disagreement with their posting and give a careful reasoning of your position. Please note: in all of your postings/replies, you must demonstrate careful reasoning and logic to bolster your position. Unsubstantiated opinions have no place in this area.
