Overview
"Punishment, Responsibility, and Justice builds on Alan Norrie's previous work to develop a ground-breaking critique of Kantian justice thinking. It casts bold new light on debates about punishment and criminal law in a period of dispute, crisis, and change."--BOOK JACKET.Synopsis
This book addresses the retributive and "orthodox subjectivist" theories that dominate criminal justice theory alongside recent "revisionist" and "postmodern" approaches. Norrie argues that all these approaches, together with their faults and contradictions, stem from their orientation to themes in Kantian moral philosophy. He explores an alternative relational or dialectical approach; examines the work of Ashworth, Duff, Fletcher, Moore, Smith, and Williams; and considers key doctrinal issues.
