The ethics of proportionate punishment

"This volume will be of great value to moral philosophers, philosophers with an interest in the ethics of punishment, and criminal law theorists. The book deals with the question of how severely criminals should be punished for their crimes. It provides a critical investigation of a fundamental principle in penal theory and practice: the principle of proportionality. This book is the most comprehensive ethical investigation of this principle to be found."--Jacket.
