This book brings together moral and legal
philosophers,criminologists and political theorists in an attempt
to address the interdependence of the study of punishment and of
political theory as well as specific issues, such as freedom,
autonomy, coercion and rights that arise in both. In addition to
new essays on the compatibility of rights and utilitarianism and of
autonomy and coercion in Kant's theory, the book contains an
extended treatment of the idea of punishment as communication. This
theme is taken up in arguments over whether punishment is
communicative, in the questions of what the content of any such
communication could be in a pluralist society, and whether
communicative accounts can make sense of the use of 'hard
treatment'. By combining the techniques and expertise of different
disciplines, the essays in this book shed new light on the problem
of punishment. They also demonstrate the usefulness of that problem
as a testing ground for legal and moral philosophy.
