Retribution is perhaps the most popular contemporary theory about
punishment and has enjoyed enduring appeal as the oldest, even most
venerable, penal theory with its strong ancient roots. Retribution
is understood in many different ways, but the standard view of
retribution is that punishment is justified where it is deserved
and an offender should be punished in proportion to his desert. In
this volume, retributivism is examined from various critical
perspectives, including its diversity, relation with desert, the
link between desert and proportionality, retributivist emotions and
the idea of mercy. The theory of retribution has been the subject
of a revival of interest in recent years and the essays selected
for this volume are the leading works on retribution from the
dominant international figures in the field.
