Punishment by A John Simmons
The problem of justifying legal punishment has been at the heart of legal and social philosophy from the very earliest recorded philosophical texts. This title offers proposals for improving established theories of punishment and compelling arguments against long-held positions.
Winner of the Charles Rufus Morey Award, College Art Association One of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 1993 "Ringside theorists can get more in 'Punishment', a set of strictly philosophical essays.. 'Punishment' ends with a lively exchange about sentencing bias in capital punishment."--The Economist
