Retribution, justice, and therapy / Jeffrie G. Murphy Dordrecht : Radha Publications, 1979 xx, p.; 21 cm. ; 21 cm. Judul seri: Philosophical studies series in philosophy Retribution, justice and theraphy contains one original and 14 previously published but extensively rewritten essays. Overall, they form a coherent collection and represent an attempt to analyze the topics of punishment and responsibility from a perspective which is radically different from the utilitarian viewpoint which tends to dominate most discussion on the subjects today. Specifically, the essays can be read as particular ways of pursuing the following general tenets: that a commitment to justice and a respect for rights must be the foundation of any morally acceptable legal order; that a social contractarian model is the best way to illuminate this foundation; that a retribution theory of punishment is the only theory of punishment resting on such a foundation and thus is the only morally acceptable theory of punishment; the the twentieth century's movement toward a scientific or therapeutic response to crime runs grave risks of undermining the foundations of justice and rights on which the legal order ought to rest; and that the ligitimate worry about the tendency of the behavioural sciences to undermine the values of justice and rigts must not cause people to miss the important insihts and opportunities that these sciences might have to offer in understanding and dealing with crime or antisocial behaviour.
