Recenzje

'The Ethics of Social Punishment uses the philosophy of punishment to bring some conceptual clarity to aspects of social life that have long gone unnoticed by moral philosophers. It shows us how we make use of the power to punish in everyday life, and tries to determine when we are justified in doing so. This book will be instructive for both moral and political philosophers as well as for any social scientists interested in the conceptual basis of informal social control.' Jacob Abolafia, Tel Aviv University
