Talk:Classical school (criminology)

Material removed
"The five principles derived from the classical school are: Rationality, Hedonism, Punishment, Human Rights, and Due Process." So who derived these principles, from whose work or concepts, and when did this derivation take place? For example: there was clearly rationality and punishment long before what we now term the Classical School began operation, so are you using these terms in some special way?

The result of the move request was: moved to Classical school (criminology). Number   5  7  15:45, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Classical school → ? – "Classical school" seems too general a title for an article about a particular school in a particular subject area, something the article's current hatnote seems to support – "This article is about the classical school of thought in criminology. For the classical school of economic thought... – and don't other subjects (e.g. arts subjects) also have "classical schools"...? Suggest, therefore, Classical school (criminology) or, as it's particular and if criminology identifies it as such, Classical School (criminology); or...? Squiver (talk) 10:26, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Support obviously massively misplace. "Classical school" does not "usually refer to the 18th-century work during the Enlightenment by the utilitarian and social contract philosophers Jeremy Bentham and Cesare Beccaria" it can refer to dozens of subjects.

 * Support. Clearly not the primary usage of "Classical school". -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:57, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Bentham and "punishment creep"
The article contains the following sentence: "Bentham argued that there had been "punishment creep", i.e. that the severity of punishments had slowly increased so that the death penalty was then imposed for more than two hundred offences in England." The cited reference for this is. As it happens, the cited page is available on Google books and does not mention the phrase "punishment creep", nor does it mention Bentham in any context. Bentham is cited on two pages in the book: page 161 and page 152. Neither of those pages supports the article's proposition either, nor does the phrase "punishment creep" appear anywhere in the book. Accordingly I have removed the citation as it is inaccurate. Kurivaim (talk) 00:41, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
