This volume provides discussions of both the concept of
responsibility and of punishment, and of both individual and
collective responsibility. It provides in-depth Socratic and
Kantian bases for a new version of retributivism, and defends that
version against the main criticisms that have been raised against
retributivism in general. It includes chapters on criminal
recidivism and capital punishment, as well as one on forgiveness,
apology and punishment that is congruent with the basic precepts of
the new retributivism defended therein. Finally, chapters on
corporate responsibility and punishment are included, with a
closing chapter on holding the U.S. accountable for its most recent
invasion and occupation of Iraq. The book is well-focused but also
presents the widest ranging set of topics of any book of its kind
as it demonstrates how the concepts of responsibility and
punishment apply to some of the most important problems of our
time. "This is one of the best books on punishment, and the Fourth
Edition continues its tradition of excellence. The book connects
punishment importantly to moral responsibility and desert, and it
is comprehensive in its scope, both addressing abstract,
theoretical issues and applied issues as well. The topics treated
include collective responsibility, apology, forgiveness, capital
punishment, and war crimes. Highly recommended."-John Martin
Fischer, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, University of
California, Riverside.
