F. Types Of Penology
4. Critical penology is based on the principle that the criminal justice system is
a product of social, economic, and political forces that perpetuate (prolong)
inequality and oppression. This approach emphasizes the need to challenge
and reform the criminal justice system to address underlying issues of
power and social justice.

clearly ordained in the Qur’an and Sunnat and they are Hudood
K. Dusk
Generally speaking, we can conclude that crime is the violation of the judicial
order, so punishment is the restoration of the judicial order which has been
violated, and, consequently, the restoration of the peace which has been
disturbed, whereby human society is made possible. Crime and punishment are
inseparable, and “punishment enables us to understand the crime, and the
crime enables us to understand the punishment.” Punishment is the correlative of
crime. The “punishment” both in the abstract and concretely, is naturally
determined by the crime.
Lecture# 04
A. Retributive Theory
Key Advocates:
Critical Analysis:
Strengths:
1. Overly Punitive: Retributive theory can lead to overly punitive measures, which
can be counterproductive.
2. Fails to Address Root Causes: Retributive theory fails to address the root causes
of crime, such as poverty, lack of education, and social inequality.
3. Ignores rehabilitative needs of offenders.
Islamic Perspective:
B. Deterrent Theory
Key Advocates:
Jeremy Bentham, Cesare Beccaria
Critical Analysis:
Strengths:
1. Deters Crime: The fear of punishment can deter potential offenders from
committing crimes.
2. Provides a Sense of Security: Deterrent theory provides a sense of security to
the public, knowing that offenders will be punished.
Weaknesses:
Islamic Perspective:
C. Rehabilitation Theory
The theory that punishment should be inflicted on an offender with the goal of
rehabilitating them and preparing them for reintegration into society.
Key Advocates:
Francis Allen, Norval Morris
Critical Analysis:
Strengths:
1. Reduces Recidivism (re-offending): Rehabilitation theory can reduce recidivism
rates by providing offenders with the support and resources they need to change
their behavior.
2. Promotes Reintegration (restoration) : Rehabilitation theory promotes
reintegration into society, helping offenders to become productive members of
society.
Weaknesses:
Islamic Perspective:
providing offenders with the support and resources they need to change
their behavior.
Key Advocates

Islamic Perspective:
E. Incapacitation Theory
The theory that punishment should be inflicted on an offender with the goal of
incapacitating them and preventing them from committing further crimes.
Key Advocates:
James Q. Wilson, Richard Herrnstein
Critical Appreciation:
Strengths:
i. Overly punitive,
ii. Fails to address root causes of crime,
iii. May lead to harsh punishment.
In conclusion, each of these theories has its strengths and weaknesses, and a
critical analysis of each is necessary to develop effective and just punishment
practices. From an Islamic perspective, punishment should be aimed at achieving
justice, fairness, and rehabilitation, rather than solely focused on retribution or
deterrence.
In conclusion, each of above theories has its strengths and weaknesses, and a
critical analysis of each is necessary to develop effective and just punishment
practices. To conclude with, punishment should be aimed at achieving justice,
fairness, and rehabilitation, rather than solely focused on retribution or
deterrence or the other way round.
