A Critical Response Essay on “Revising the Stanford Prison Experiment: A Lesson in the Power of Situation.” Krystal Watkins Freshman Composition 1 March 26, 2012 In Philip Zimbardo’s Revising The Stanford Prison Experiment: A Lesson in The Power of Situation, published in The Chronicle of Higher Education on March 30, 2007, he writes about Stanley Milgram’s 1971 prison experiment at Stanford University. Zimbardo argues that an individual’s situation can overwhelm their moral standards. The author opens by giving a history of psychological studies. These studies give Stanley Milgram the idea to study “the direct confrontation of good versus evil” (Zimbardo 302). Milgram then decides to set up an experiment in which he creates a “situation in a controlled experimental setting” (Zimbardo 303).

Organized Crime Prevention and Control As one author put it, “organized crime has been defined in the relative absence of Knowledge” about its true dimensions (Castle, 2008, p. 139). Albanese (1996) explains crime and possible organized crime in terms of the typologies of positivism, classicism, structural, and ethical explanations. The positive approach explains organized crime as caused by social and economic factors that include: poor neighborhoods and role models, lack of opportunity to achieve the “American Dream,” dysfunctional families, and even genetics. The positivist sees change in the conditions as a means to prevent criminal behavior. Walter Miller’s classic article “Ideology and Criminal Justice Policy” concluded with the observation, “when assertions are made about what measures best serve the purposes of securing order, justice, and the public welfare, one should ask, ‘How do we know this?’” (1973, p. 150).

Jeremy Bentham and the Utilitarian Perspective of Justice Jeremy Bentham (Key Architect of Utilitarian Theory of Justice) Utilitarian theory is derived from consequentialism and is used as a tool that judges the morality of actions based on the consequences that those actions bring about. “ That actions, rules, and institutions are justified only to the extent that they bring about the greater overall good, where by “good” Bentham means pleasure and the absence of pain” (Solomon & Murphy, 1999, p. 215).
