psychology of punishment  

Définition

  • The psychological analysis of punishment focuses on the question why people tend to punish behavior that violates legal or informal norms of society. The diversity of needs and calls for sanctions is dependent on specific features of the offense and the offender, on features of the person who intends to punish, as well as on the interaction of both, that is the interplay of situational and personal variables.
