What theories help us better understand its nature? Is punishment just? Are there effective alternatives to punishment? How can empirical data from the sciences help us better understand punishment? What are the relationships between punishment and our biology, psychology, and social environment? How is punishment understood and administered differently in different societies? \u003ci\u003eThe Routledge Handbook of the Philosophy and Science of Punishment\u003c\/i\u003e is the first major reference work to address these and other important questions in detail, offering 31 chapters from an international and interdisciplinary team of experts in a single, comprehensive volume. It covers the major theoretical approaches to punishment and its alternatives; emerging research from biology, psychology, and social neuroscience; and important special issues like the side-effects of punishment and solitary confinement, racism and stigmatization, the risk and protective factors for antisocial behavior, and victims' rights and needs. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eHandbook\u003c\/i\u003e is conveniently organized into four sections: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI.
