Abstract
- Contemporary textbooks in criminal justice use A Clockwork Orange to illustrate issues of correction and sentencing practices. This article challenges criminal justice faculty and students to use the film to explore the political and social realities of punishment, in particular the examination of the moral question of "voluntariness" and the implications for "treatment" as a mechanism of social control. This paper explores the moral questions of state sponsored social control and using the film satire invites the student to examine their beliefs about the political and social realities of punishment and rehabilitation.
