First published in 1929, this book explores the crucial, ethical
question of the objects and the justification of punishment. Dr. A.
C. Ewing considers both the retributive theory and the deterrent
theory on the subject whilst remaining commendably unprejudiced.
The book examines the views which emphasize the reformation of the
offender and the education of the community as objects of
punishment. It also deals with a theory of reward as a compliment
to a theory of punishment. Dr. Ewing's treatment of the topics is
philosophical yet he takes in to account the practical
considerations that should determine the nature and the amount of
the punishment to be inflicted in different types of cases. This
book will be of great interest to students of philosophy, teachers
and those who are interested in the concrete problems of punishment
by the state. It is an original contribution to the study of a
subject of great theoretical and practical importance.
