With scientific rigor and an approachable style, the author questions the effectiveness of harsh sentencing and analyzes how punitive populism dominates public discourse. Through everyday examples and criminological analysis, the book invites readers to rethink penal policies and understand the role of vengeance in our laws. An essential read for those seeking an informed perspective on justice in the 21st century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book addresses the paradox of our obsession with severe punishment as a solution to crime. Sanz Fuentes examines why the belief persists that harsher sentences create greater security, when criminological evidence shows the opposite. Throughout its pages, the author analyzes how emotions, cognitive biases, and political interests shape penal policies, distancing them from true efficacy. With irony and clarity, he exposes the contradictions of the judicial system and offers alternatives based on science and humanity, challenging the reader to question their own convictions about justice and punishment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Topics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePunitive populism and its influence on public opinion and laws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eVengeance as a human impulse and its role in the judicial system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe real effectiveness of harsh sentences versus criminological evidence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCognitive biases and emotions that distort the perception of crime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eScience-based alternatives for more effective and humane justice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at professionals in law, criminology, and psychology, as well as students of these disciplines.
