Module/Week 8 -- Lex Talionis

Discussion Board Forum 2

Thread: Charles Colson and Daniel Benson argue in “Restitution v. Imprisonment” that programs of restitution by offenders to their victims should be instituted on a wide scale as the primary means of dealing with criminal behavior. Is this argument persuasive to you? Explain why you do or do not believe that such a system would work. Consider the biblical model of restitution in your explanation.
