This chapter delves into Friedrich Nietzsche’s critical stance on punitive systems and his support for a therapeutic, nonpenal approach in addressing criminality. The author underscores Nietzsche’s disavowal of traditional moral and religious evaluations of criminal behaviour, advocating for the perception and treatment of offenders as individuals requiring medical intervention rather than punitive measures. Through comprehensive analysis of Nietzsche’s writings, the chapter illuminates his abolitionist perspectives, arguing for a therapeutic strategy toward criminal behaviour that prioritizes health and rehabilitation over retribution and guilt. It is rooted in Nietzsche’s extensive critique of Judeo-Christian morality and his envisioning of a new evaluative horizon, prioritizing the innocence of becoming and the advancement of health as fundamental elements.
