Question

Which of the following claims does Dolovich NOT make:

a) A real reintegrationist system would include a meaningful parole process.
b) Some legitimate public interest goals such as deterrence may be realized by the threat of
punitive sanctions.
c) Legitimate public interests are never realized by criminal punishments.
d) The punishment system operates in accordance with an exclusionary ideal that imposes a
permanent outsider status on people convicted of crimes.

Answer 1

Dolovich does not claim that legitimate public interests are never realized by criminal punishments.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dolovich does NOT make the claim that legitimate public interests are never realized by criminal punishments. In fact, Dolovich argues that some legitimate public interest goals, such as deterrence, can be achieved through punitive sanctions. However, Dolovich does highlight the need for a meaningful parole process in a real reintegrationist system and criticizes the punishment system for imposing a permanent outsider status on people convicted of crimes, which aligns with the claim made in option d.
