17 17 History of Criminal Justice Prior to the 1800s  Humans viewed as “depraved” and immune to change  Purpose of CJ system = punishment Punishment = corporal and public 1850s-1900  Enlightenment/Classical School  Prison becomes primary punishment tool Belief that discipline/regiment could cure Match punishment with severity of crime
