Abstract

Confronted by the damages and pain caused by offenders, society reaches for punishment to redress the balance. Yet, faced with causes of crime which lie beyond the control of offenders themselves, we are also inclined to consider accepting a variety of excuses. Therefore, we are faced with a conundrum which forms the central question of this book : when all the factors are taken together, just when should an offender be punished or excused?
