He presented his position entitled the principle of humanity; assumes that the justification for punishment should be to give the offender a better life. This includes the great goods of life, such as basic services and a good life expectancy. This proposal made by Honderich is pleasant. For example, Norway provides its prisoners with adequate care and resources as suggested by the principle of humanity and this results in low recidivism rates (James, 2013). However, this theory lacks universality, as it would be difficult to implement in poor countries, as there are no resources to provide a prisoner with basic necessities.
