Description

This book argues that punishment's function is to communicate a message about an offenders' wrongdoing to society at large.

It discusses both 'paradigmatic' cases of punishment, where a state punishes its own citizens, and non-paradigmatic cases such as the punishment of corporations and the punishment of war criminals by international tribunals.
