It would, Caruso argues, lead us to adopt a system that is very different from the highly punitive system we have today. The public health model involves a focus on social justice and addressing the social inequities that lead people into criminal behavior, including inequality and discrimination. Caruso shifts it entirely away from its current basis in retributive justice (the idea that punishment is justified because wrongdoers deserve it) to what he calls a “public health-quarantine model, in which the purpose of criminal justice is not punitive, but aims primarily at crime prevention.
