Shaming Punishments
Last month, James Connolly, a junior at the University of Massachusetts, stood in front of a local police station wearing a toga(长袍)as punishment.
His crime? He was charged with underage drinking, illegal possession of alcohol and excessive noise while holding a party.
This shaming punishment has increased in the US in recent years, mostly imposed by local judges for less-serious crimes, such as drunk driving and theft.
They believe shame is the best petty crime deterrent(威慑). For example, in Tennessee, Judge James McKenzie has made shoplifters(商店货物扒手)stand outside Wal-Mart with signs that read. I am a thief put here by order of Judge McKenzie.
Alternative punishments like community service and fines dont convey moral condemnation(谴责)of the criminal, said Dan Kahan, a University of Chicago Law School professor, in an article published on the universitys website. They arent shameful enough.
Shaming punishments are sometimes called Scarlet(红色的)Letter punishments. The name comes from US author Nathaniel Hawthornes l 850 novel The Scarlet Letter. In this novel, a woman is forced to wear a scarlet A on her clothes as punishment for her adultery(通奸).
