The Routledge Handbook of the Philosophy and Science of Punishment, 1st Edition, is a reference work that brings together normative penal philosophy and empirical research. It examines theoretical justifications for criminal penalties alongside scientific findings on antisocial behavior and penal practices.
The volume surveys major philosophical models of punishment alongside empirical evidence from biology, psychology, and social neuroscience. Across four main sections, it addresses the outcomes of solitary confinement, racism, risk factors for offending, and potential alternatives to standard sanctions.
Comprising 31 chapters contributed by an international and interdisciplinary team of experts, the handbook includes an introductory chapter and an index. It is prepared for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students in philosophy, law, criminology, psychology, and forensic psychiatry.
