Description

This Routledge Research in Legal Philosophy book presents a comprehensive mixed theory of legal punishment that bridges consequentialism and retributivism, two traditionally opposing schools of thought. The author argues that both crime reduction and retribution serve as legitimate aims of the state, recognising the philosophical strength of each position. Rather than choosing between deterrence-focused approaches that emphasise maximising positive outcomes and retributive approaches that focus on desert and moral culpability, this work integrates both frameworks to create a more complete justification for state punishment. Essential reading for legal philosophers, academics studying jurisprudence, and anyone seeking to understand the philosophical foundations of criminal justice systems. The book explores why the state's punishment of its own citizens can be ethically and legally justified, addressing a central question in philosophy of law with rigorous argumentation and balanced analysis.

Key Features

A Theory of Legal Punishment integrates consequentialist and retributivist perspectives into a cohesive mixed theory of punishment.

The book examines crime reduction and retribution as complementary state aims rather than competing objectives.

This Routledge publication is part of the Research in Legal Philosophy series, establishing academic authority in jurisprudence.

The work addresses fundamental questions about the justification for state punishment of citizens.

Mixed theory framework provides philosophers and legal scholars with a nuanced approach to understanding criminal justice rationales.
