Read the following excerpt:
"When examining the evolution of criminal law in the nineteenth century, legal traditionalists argue that the shift from restorative to retributive justice was a necessary adaptation. According to these scholars, as communities expanded and became increasingly anonymous, informal community-mediated restitution was no longer adequate to deter crime. They contend that a formalized system of punishment, administered by a centralized state, became essential not only to maintain social order but also to establish clear moral boundaries for the public. However, this interpretation often ignores the underlying economic incentives that also drove the expansion of the penal system."
