Justice and Punishment: The Rationale of Coercion (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780198295730)

This book aims to answer the question of why, and by what right, some people punish others. With a groundbreaking new theory, Matravers argues that the justification of punishment must be embedded in a larger political and moral theory. He also uses the problem of punishment to undermine contemporary accounts of justice.
