One of the Issues Outlined in Chapter 5 Is Whether

One of the issues outlined in Chapter 5 is whether punishment is really better than rehabilitation. Discuss this idea in general as it pertains to the liberal justice model, and then discuss it in terms of whether you agree or disagree that a harsher sentencing scheme is better than one based on reformation and treatment. In your answer, discuss pros and cons of a model based on harsher punishment, but decide ultimately what type of correctional system is better and for what reasons.
