Heffernan makes such a case by treating state-sponsored punishment as the defining feature of criminal justice. In particular, this work accounts for the state’s role as a surrogate for victims of wrongdoing, and so makes it possible to integrate victimology scholarship into its justice-based framework. In arguing that punishment may be imposed only for wrongdoing, the book proposes a criterion for repudiating the legal paternalism that informs drug-possession laws. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRethinking the Foundations of Criminal Justice\u003c\/i\u003e outlines steps for taming the state’s power to punish offenders; in particular, it draws on restorative justice research to outline possibilities for a penology that emphasizes offenders’ humanity. Through its examination of equality issues, the book integrates recent work on the social justice\/criminal justice connection into the scholarly literature on punishment, and so will particularly appeal to those interested in criminal justice theory.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2020-10-02\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030127848\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-12782-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 149\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44561346461836,"sku":"9783030127848","price":71.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030127848.jpg?v=1776692054","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783030127848","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
