Plato's Penal Code: Tradition, Controversy, and Reform in Greek Penology
Saunders
This book examines in detail how Plato moved away from the traditional ancient Greek view of punishment as primarily retributive towards a theory of punishment, set out in his Laws, as reform of the offender, cast in medical terms, and designed to `cure' the criminal's mental state.
