Whether this punishment is a fine, community service, or incarceration, Morris proposed that there are two rationales for assigning punishment to offenders. First, this method is effective in raising children. Parents punish their children for wrongdoing to teach them proper behavior and to allow them to release their own feelings of guilt. Second, assigning punishment gives adult offenders an opportunity to dispel guilt and anger that might be internalized; the person punished will realize that the paternal figure (society/justice system) does this to improve their future.
