The Oxford Handbook of the Philosophy of Punishment is the most comprehensive collective work that has yet been published on the philosophical aspects of punishment. It is divided into ten sections covering all the main philosophical challenges arising from the questions of why, when, and how offenders should be punished for their misdeeds. Among the central themes are issues such as: how can the use of punishment be justified, what types of punishment can legitimately be imposed on offenders, and how should one determine the severity of punishments? The chapters are written by many of the field's leading scholars.
