Getting Even

Editorial Reviews
John Braithwaite, Australian National University
A serious intellectual challenge to those of us who reject the concept of revenge. It is fresh, breaking out of the standard approaches of retributivist scholarship in a most innovative way. Whatever your preferred philosophy of punishment, after reading Barton's book you are unlikely to think of revenge in quite the same way.

John Bishop, University of Auckland
Barton's highly readable discussion, with its effective dual philosophical and practical orientation, will prompt searching reassessments, both from philosophers concerned with the place of retribution in an adequate moral theory of punishment, and from those working for improvements in our criminal justice systems.
