According to Durkheim, why are modern societies less likely to use public punishment than other forms of punishment?
A) Public punishments were a form of entertainment, but modern societies have television and other forms of in-home entertainment, so they don't need to go into public to be entertained.
B) Public punishments were an effort to remind everyone, not just the victim, of the rules of society, but now you can easily look up the rules of society online, so public punishment is not necessary.
C) The public today understands that sometimes juries make wrong decisions, so they are less willing to endorse humiliating punishments than in the past.
D) Public punishments such as public hangings allowed members to share a common experience, which is not how people in modern societies form bonds.
