The book explores two contrasting theories of punishment: consequentialism and retributivism. It examines how punishment can serve practical purposes such as deterrence, incapacitation, and rehabilitation, while also delving into the retributivist perspective that emphasizes punishment as a moral response to wrongdoing, independent of its outcomes. Through this analysis, the text invites readers to consider the ethical implications and justifications for punishment in the justice system.
