The Game of Crime and Punishment by Nicky Padfield
The Game of Crime and Punishment
Mrs Nicky Padfield, University of Cambridge.
The criminal justice process has often been compared to a ‘game’: the ‘games’ lawyers play, for example, or the various ‘games’ played by prisoners or prison psychologists. It is always other people who are playing games…. This lecture will explore current trial processes and sentencing processes in England and Wales by comparing them to traditional games: in what sense is a trial like a game of ‘blind man’s buff’? why does progressing through the prison system feel to many prisoners like a game of ‘snakes and ladders’? Of course, none of these processes really feel like a game to the principal players. But the analogies can throw fresh light on how we should evaluate the effectiveness of our criminal justice system.
