  • The Right to Be Punished

    Modern Doctrinal Sentencing

    by Gabriel Hallevy ...
    Series series Law and Criminology (R0)
    Does an offender have the right to be punished? "The right to be punished" may sound like an oxymoron, but it is not necessarily so. With the emergence of modern criminal law, the offender gained the right to be punished by rational criminal law rather than being lynched by an angry mob.

Through comparative, critical and historical analysis, this book seeks to ... Read more
