Description
You live in the country of Torcia, a society defined by sex, greed, and addictive behaviour. You read vignettes about criminal and civil offences in the homes, streets, and prisons of Torcia. Traditional systems of crime and punishment don't seem to be working. The Judgement Game invites you to find out what has gone wrong and what can be done about it. The Judgement Game is an interactive book asking for your ideas about offences committed and your suggestions as to punishment imposed on offenders. This is your opportunity to play a role in the justice system of your country. The punishment Torcia will use and why is your decision. Your experiences and decision-making power are valued and can help Torcia find ideas to address its problems. You are playing a game that has been played for centuries. Only the players and the rules of the game change. The Judgement Game has returned justice to the people in this game. Play the judgement game to see if you will win!
