Problem:
How have classical criminology ideas influenced our country's laws? Please provide at least one (1) specific example from the U.S. Constitution that shows this influence. Please also provide at least one (1) specific examples from the Bill of Rights (our Amendments) that show this influence. Opinion: Given recent debates on criminal justice reform and the application of the Eighth Amendment's prohibition on "cruel and unusual punishment," how might the principles of classical criminology influence modern interpretations of this specific amendment?
