With new chapters on determinism and responsibility, plus a new conclusion, the book also remains true to its original realism about almost all talk of retribution and proportionality. Honderich investigates all the commonsensical notions of why and when punishment is morally necessary, engaging with the language of public debate by politicians and other public figures. Honderich then puts forward his own argument that punishment is legitimate when it  is in accord with the principle of humanity.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWritten in a clear, sharp style and seasoned with a dry wit, this is the most important work on the reasoning behind our penal systems. It is a pleasure to read for philosophers and non-philosophers alike.","brand":"Pluto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43381201567999,"sku":"9780745321318","price":43.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780745321318_s600x595.jpg?v=1780942223","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780745321318","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
