BBC Radio 4 - Four Thought, Series 2, Danny Kruger: The Purpose of Punishment

Danny Kruger calls for a re-evaluation of the purpose of punishment for crime.

Founder of Only Connect, Danny Kruger, calls for a re-evaluation of the purpose of punishment for crime, treating retribution and rehabilitation as two separate objectives.

Danny Kruger is the founder of Only Connect - a charitable arts company working with prisoners, ex- offenders and young people at risk of crime.

He calls for a re-evaluation of the purpose of punishment, treating retribution and rehabilitation as two separate objectives whose current confusion serves neither the criminal, nor the victim nor the wider interests of justice.

Four Thought is a series of talks which combine thought provoking ideas and engaging storytelling. 

Recorded live in front of an audience at the RSA in London, speakers take to the stage to air their latest thinking on the trends, ideas, interests and passions that affect our culture and society. 

Producer: Sheila Cook.
