Publisher's Synopsis
The Problem of Cain: A Study on the Treatment of Criminals is a book written by William Trumbull in 1890. The book explores the issue of how society should treat criminals, using the biblical story of Cain as a metaphor for the problem of punishment and rehabilitation. Trumbull argues that the current methods of punishment, such as imprisonment and execution, are not effective in preventing crime and rehabilitating offenders. Instead, he proposes a system of education and moral guidance for criminals, emphasizing the importance of reform and redemption. The book also discusses the role of religion and spirituality in the treatment of offenders, and advocates for a more compassionate and humane approach to criminal justice. Overall, The Problem of Cain is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of one of the most pressing issues in modern society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
