Judicial and Juridical

Distinction:


An anthropological penal system punishes the person(ality) for their ability or dispostion to commit a crime. It is purely psychological.

A Juridical system punishes the act, not the personality. It is purely circumstantial.

The current system is a mixture of the two. This system is set within a true binary: Free and Confined.
