Description

Explore the deep philosophical questions surrounding the justice system with The Ends of Harm: The Moral Foundations of Criminal Law. Published by Oxford University Press, this work examines the heavy impact of modern imprisonment on individuals and society. Every year, democratic states deprive thousands of people of their liberty, leading to lost jobs, destroyed relationships, and significant psychological or physical harm. This book addresses the high cost to the state and the personal toll on offenders. Readers will engage with the central debate of legal philosophy: how can such a brutal and expensive enterprise be justified? The text examines traditional arguments, such as retributivism, which views punishment as a good in itself, and other theories that see it as a means to achieve valuable social ends. This is an essential read for anyone studying the moral foundations of law and the ethics of criminal justice.
