{"product_id":"rights-and-wrongs-9783030127824","title":"Rights and Wrongs","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book seeks to explain why the concept of justice is critical to the study of criminal justice. 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. Rethinking the Foundations of Criminal Justice 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","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52929906213143,"sku":null,"price":8097.3,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6918\/8119\/files\/9783030127824.jpg?v=1781603974","url":"https:\/\/payment.letskitaboo.com\/ur\/products\/rights-and-wrongs-9783030127824","provider":"Kitaboo One eStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
