question 9

Multiple Choice

In this selection Bedau first draws an analogy between self-defense and the death penalty. Just as in defending ourselves we are to use no more force than is necessary to prevent harm, so in punishing criminals we are to use no more violence than is necessary to adequately punish the criminal.

He thinks that the literal application of the lex talionis is barbaric and that long-term imprisonment is adequate punishment.
