{"product_id":"punishment-as-societal-defense-phillip-montague-9780847680726","title":"Punishment as Societal-Defense","description":"People punished by law are treated in ways that we consider immoral in other contexts. In \u003ci\u003ePunishment as Societal-Defense\u003c\/i\u003e, Phillip Montague develops a new theory of punishment that, instead of justifying it on the basis of deterrence or retribution, constructs it as analogous to individual self-defense. If people are justified in defending themselves against wrongful aggression, Montague argues, the same principles of distributive justice underlie punishment as societal defense.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Phillip Montague\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 084768072X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780847680726\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/23\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.41w x 0.57d","brand":"Phillip Montague","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48065209303295,"sku":"9780847680726","price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cf296978-e37b-4993-8a9c-c72ec7d6f76b.jpg?v=1768673698","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/punishment-as-societal-defense-phillip-montague-9780847680726","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
