This exploration of penal censure is inspired by the 40th anniversary of the publication of Andreas von Hirsch’s Doing Justice, which opened up a fresh set of issues in theorisation about punishment that eventually led von Hirsch to ground his proposed model of desert-based sentencing on the notion of penal censure. Von Hirsch’s work thus provides an obvious starting-point for an exploration of the importance of censure for the justification of punishment, both within his theory of just deserts and from the perspectives of other theoretical approaches. It also provides an opportunity for engaging with censure more broadly from philosophical, sociological–anthropological and individual–psychological perspectives. The essays in this collection map the conceptual territory of censure from these different perspectives, address issues for desert theory that arise from fuller understandings of censure, and consider afresh the role of censure within the jurisprudence of punishment. They show that analyses of censure from different vantage points can significantly enrich punishment theory, not least by providing a conceptual basis for perceiving common ground between and thus connecting different strands of penal theory.

Indirectly but firmly, the articles in this collection are, in fact, a challenging tribute to the extensive work of von Hirsch... These fourteen articles, especially through the volume’s extensive footnoting and helpful indexing, also offer a comprehensive guide to, and impression of, the relevant literature and topics that have shaped the interaction of censure and desert over the past fifty years. And, lastly, these articles consistently offer suggestions for those un- or inadequately-addressed but relevant matters that await future treatment.

Now available in paperback
The series publishes cutting-edge work on penal theory and ethics – both broadly construed – and on their intersections. It is particularly open to approaches belonging to different intellectual traditions – whether analytical, comparative, or historical – and to interdisciplinary approaches. While the series’s emphasis is theoretical, it is hoped that many of its volumes will highlight some of the ways in which theoretical work relates to practical concerns.New titles in this series can be found on the Studies in Penal Theory and Ethics series page.
