This book argues that punishment's function is to communicate a
message about an offenders' wrongdoing to society at large. It
discusses both 'paradigmatic' cases of punishment, where a state
punishes its own citizens, and non-paradigmatic cases such as the
punishment of corporations and the punishment of war criminals by
international tribunals.
