Rejecting Retributivism

Beschreibung

Within the criminal justice system, one of the most prominent justifications for legal punishment is retributivism. This book argues against retributivism and develops an alternative for addressing criminal behavior that is ethically defensible and practical. It will interest philosophers, criminologists, forensic psychologists, and legal scholars.
