Question

Imagine an annual conference where penologists from around the world gather to discuss the laws and practices most effective for controlling crime. At this year's conference is a new session, entitled "Crime, Punishment, and Ideology," for which the panelists are Douglas Hay and Stuart Hall. The panel's theme is that the social significance of the criminal legal system extends beyond crime control (and that, to understand this, one needs to look at more than data on crime rates). Draft a presentation for one of the invited panelists (Hay or Hall) that explains their perspective on how criminal law (and/or penal law) operates as a system of ideas. In doing so, be sure to emphasize the importance of class (Hay) and/or race (Hall).
