Summary: This volume examines scholarly and lay thinking about punishment of people convicted of crimes with particular emphasis on 'making the punishment fit the crime.' The contributors challenge the most prevalent current theories and emphasize the need for a shift away from the politicized emotionalism of recent decades. They argue that theories that coincided with mass incarceration and rampant injustice to countless individuals are evolving in ways that better countenance moving toward more humane and thoughtful approaches.
