Book Overview

""Remarks On Transportation: And On A Recent Defense Of The System, In A Second Letter To Earl Grey"" is a book written by Richard Whately in 1834. The book is a critical analysis of the transportation system, which was a form of punishment used in the 19th century where convicts were sent to colonies in Australia. Whately argues against the transportation system, stating that it is an ineffective form of punishment that does not address the root causes of crime.
