Danny Kruger: The Purpose of Punishment
Founder of Only Connect, Danny Kruger, calls for a re-evaluation of the purpose of punishment for crime, treating retribution and rehabilitation as two separate objectives.
Danny Kruger is the founder of Only Connect - a charitable arts company working with prisoners, ex- offenders and young people at risk of crime.
He calls for a re-evaluation of the purpose of punishment, treating retribution and rehabilitation as two separate objectives whose current confusion serves neither the criminal, nor the victim nor the wider interests of justice.
