Focusing on the philosophy of punishment, this study advocates for a purely retributive approach, challenging the prevailing utilitarian and mixed theories. It emphasizes justice and desert as the core principles guiding punishment, drawing on Hegelian perspectives while remaining rooted in analytic tradition. The work addresses key questions in punishment theory, arguing against any compromises for social expediency to uphold a strict moral framework.
