Transcript

00:03

Here's your Shmoop du jour, brought to you by the capital punishment. It's much more

00:08

painful than lowercase punishment.

00:26

With whom does Ferri associate the corrective school of criminal law?

00:36

By now, we remember that Beccaria is associated with the classical, not the corrective school

00:41

of criminal law.

00:42

Choice (A) is out of the running.

00:45

Though Ferri does say that the ancient Romans were all about civil law,

00:48

he actually calls them out for having no formal philosophy on the subject.

00:53

(B) is a no-go.

00:54

Ferri also claims that there was no school of criminal philosophy in Medieval times,

00:59

and he even points out that the punishments were kind of harsh.

01:03

Answer (D) is eliminated.

01:04

Ferri does indeed associate the school of criminal law with Roeder, making (C) the correct answer.

01:10

All these school names sound harsh.

01:12

Couldn't anybody think of a friendlier term, maybe something like the "School of Rainbows and Unicorns?
