Abstract

Rusche and Kirchheimer’s 1939 text Punishment and Social Structure (2003) not only aimed to outline the links between a society’s response to crime and the social system from which that crime arose, but also argued that a society’s aspirations for the future are structurally inherent in the present. According to Rusche and Kirchheimer (2003), the necessary connection between successful progressive penal reform and progress in general was severed by the political limits and the inevitable narrowness of both social and penal reform programmes.
