The Art of Punishment

Know about the book -

The Art of Punishment is written by Graeme Newman and published by Harrow and Heston. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0911577599 (ISBN 10) and 9780911577594 (ISBN 13).

In this second volume, arguably the most challenging and despicable of such books, Graeme Newman helps us experience punishment through the lens of artists, brilliant and mundane, though never failing to confront us with the awful things we do to those who have broken the law. These 148 images show us what we are truly capable of, and how necessary it is to be convinced that the recipients of horrible punishments really deserve what they get. As such, it is essential that the guilt of the accused be established beyond reasonable doubt. Newman's poignant and concise commentaries on every picture both educate and engage, uncovering the emotive psychology of punishment (that is, hypocrisy) that lies at the heart of all functioning societies.
