A Pyrrhicvictory IPAc en p r k is a victory with such a devastating cost to the victor that it carries the implication that another such victory will ultimately cause defeat. At a purely technical level someone who wins a Pyrrhicvictory has been victorious in some way. However, the heavy cost involved in winning and or the unpleasant consequences which follow completely destroy any sense of achievement or profit. There is therefore no reason for celebration. Origin The phrase is named after King Pyrrhus of Epirus Pyrrhus of Epirus ancient state Epirus , whose army suffered irreplaceable casualties in defeating the Roman Republic Romans at Battle of Heraclea Heraclea in 280 BC and Battle of Asculum 279 BCE Asculum in 279 BC during the Pyrrhic War .

Pyrrhic defeat theory IPAc en p r k is the idea that those with the power to change a system, benefit from the way it currently works. Origin In criminology, pyrrhic defeat theory is a way of looking at criminal justice policy. It suggests that the criminal justice system s intentions are the very opposite of common expectations it functions the way it does in order to create a specific image of crime one in which it is actually a threat from the poor. However, to justify the truth of the idea there must be some substance to back it up. The system needs to fight crime, to some extent at least, but to an amount only to control it and ensure it stays in a prominent position in the public eye, not enough to eliminate it. ref cite book last1 Reiman first1 Jeffrey title The Rich Get Richer and the Poor Get Prison chapter Criminal Justice Through the Looking Glass publisher John Wiley & Sons year 1979 location New York, New York pages 5 7 accessdate 2012 02 20 isbn 0 471 04726 0 ref This concept amalgamates ideas from Emile Durkheim, Karl Marx, Kai Ericson and Richard Quinney, drawn together by Jeffrey Reiman. Reiman s ideas differ from those of Marx s slightly. Where as Marx suggests that the criminal justice system serves the rich by auspiciously repressing the poor, Reiman suggests that it does so instead by its failure to reduce crime. Durkheim suggests that crime is functional for society, and part of the very tapestry that holds it together. He suggests that an act is perceived criminal because of the way it affects a peoples opinions, not that the act contrasts peoples opinions due to the fact it is criminal. we must not say that an action shocks the conscience collective because it is criminal, but rather that it is criminal because it shocks the conscience collective. We do not condemn it because it is a crime, it is a crime because we condemn it. ref name CalhounGerteis2012 cite book author1 Craig Calhoun author2 Joseph Gerteis author3 James Moody coauthors Steven ... more details
