Penal Coercion in Contexts of Social Injustice

Criminal Law and Philosophy 5 (1):21-38 (2011)

The intuitive belief behind the text is that in such a context—that of an indecent State—justifying penal coercion becomes very problematic, particularly when directed against the most disfavored members of society
