This comprehensive Handbook offers a thorough exploration of significant themes in the philosophy of punishment, drawing upon the expertise of leading scholars across various disciplines. It provides a historical journey, tracing the evolution of punishment theory from ancient times to the present. The Handbook critically evaluates the primary justifications for punishment, including retributivism, general and specific deterrence theories, mixed theories, expressivism, societal-defense theory, fair play theory, rights forfeiture theory, and the public health-quarantine model. It delves into the intricate aspects of sentencing, proportionality, policing, prosecution, and the role of punishment within the context of the state. Additionally, it examines advancements in neuroscience and engages in debates about whether free will skepticism undermines the justifiability of punishment. The Handbook also explores the concepts of forgiveness, restorative justice, and calls to abolish punishment, addressing pressing social issues such as mass incarceration, juvenile justice, punitive torture, the death penalty, and "cruel and unusual" punishment.
This book is a vital resource for scholars seeking to stay abreast of the latest developments in the field and for advanced students eager to delve into the intricacies of punishment philosophy. Its unmatched breadth and depth make it an essential reading for anyone interested in exploring the frontiers of this important and complex subject.
