Perhaps the Most Universally Accepted Argument Against Utilitarian Thinking Has

Perhaps the most universally accepted argument against utilitarian thinking has to do with deterrence. As our text suggests, a central tenet on the list of arguments posited against capital punishment is that it does not matter who is punished for a crime, only that punishment is swift, stern, and public. Write an essay about deterrence, how this argument works, and how police officers must take care in this regard; they must avoid any propensity to "punish just anybody" in order to maintain order on their beats.
