Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. In this book, David Boonin examines the problem of punishment, and particularly the problem of explaining why it is morally permissible for the state to treat those who break the law in ways that would be wrong to treat those who do not? Boonin argues that there is no satisfactory solution to this problem and that the practice of legal punishment should therefore be abolished. Providing a detailed account of the nature of punishment and the problems that it generates, he offers a comprehensive and critical survey of the various solutions that have been offered to the problem and concludes by considering victim restitution as an alternative to punishment. Written in a clear and accessible style, The Problem of Punishment will be of interest to anyone looking for a critical introduction to the subject as well as to those already familiar with it. Why is it morally permissible for the state to treat those who break the law in ways that would be wrong to treat those who do not? This book argues that there is no satisfactory solution to this problem and that the practice of legal punishment should therefore be abolished. This item is printed on demand.
