Justice and Punishment: The Rationale of Coercion
Matravers, Matt (Department of Politics, Department of Politics, University of York)
This book aims to answer the question: 'why, and by what right,do some people punish others?' With his groundbreaking new theory, the author argues that the justification of punishment must be embedded in a larger political and moral theory. The author uses the problem of punishment to undermine contemporary accounts of justice.
