Describes the relevance of retributivism to current debates over capital punishment, entrapment, excessive sentencing, and the necessity defense
Explains how the principled concerns of retributivist justice can be accommodated and compromised in a real-world system of criminal justice by adopting an explicitly political conception of the practice
Proposes a rethinking of the philosophical foundations of retributivism, even from seminal retributivist thinkers such as Immanuel Kant and G.W.F. Hegel
In Retributivism: Essays on Theory and Policy, Professor Mark D. White and his contributors offer analysis and explanations of new developments in retributivism, the philosophical account of punishment that holds that wrongdoers must be punished as a matter of right, duty, or justice, rather than to serve some general social purpose. The contemporary debate over retributivist punishment has become particularly vibrant in recent years, focusing increasingly on ist political and economic as well as ist philosophical aspects, and also on ist practical ramifications in addition to theoretical implications. The twelve chapters in this book, written by leading legal scholars and philosophers, cover the various justifications and conceptions of retributivism, ist philosophical foundations (often questioning conventional understandings), and how retributivism informs actual criminal justice procedures and practices.
