The Injustice of Punishment

Meer over het boek

Challenging conventional views on moral responsibility and retributive justice, the author presents a thought-provoking exploration of punishment's role in society. Through extensive psychological research, the book argues that while punishment cannot be entirely eradicated, recognizing its inherent injustice is crucial. This acknowledgment encourages the pursuit of more effective alternatives that aim to reduce the necessity and harm associated with punitive measures, ultimately advocating for a more humane approach to justice.
