This book is the first comprehensive study of the meaning and
measure of enforceability. While we have long debated what
restraints should govern the conduct of our social life, we have
paid relatively little attention to the question of what it means
to make a restraint enforceable. Focusing on the enforceability of
legal rights but also addressing the enforceability of moral rights
and social conventions, Mark Reiff explains how we use punishment
and compensation to make restraints operative in the world. After
describing the various means by which restraints may be enforced,
Reiff explains how the sufficiency of enforcement can be measured,
and he presents a unified theory of deterrence, retribution, and
compensation that shows how these aspects of enforceability are
interconnected. Reiff then applies his theory of enforceability to
illuminate a variety of real-world problem situations.
