Judging Evil Rethinking the Law of Murder and Manslaughter By: Samuel H. Pillsbury Publisher: NYU Press Print ISBN: 9780814766804, 0814766803 eText ISBN: 9780814768754, 081476875X Copyright year: 2000 Format: EPUB Available from $ 26.10 USD SKU: 9780814768754 Why do killers deserve punishment? How should the law decide? These are the questions Samuel H. Pillsbury seeks to answer in this important new book on the theory and practice of criminal responsibility. In an argument both traditional and fresh, Pillsbury holds that persons deserve punishment according to the evil they choose to do, regardless of their psychological capacities. Using real case examples, he offers concrete proposals for legal reform, urging that modern preoccupations with subjective aspects of wrongdoing be replaced with rules that focus more on the individual's motives.
