JusGov researcher Bruna Capparelli has just published the book From the ends of punishing to the end of punishment? An Italian perspective on punitive practices and the paradigm of restorative justice.

One could say that punishment is a phenomenon that has been around since time immemorial in the most varied of contexts (legal, moral, religious, military, educational, family, sports, and so on). Since the practice is so widespread and manifests itself in many ways, it is safe to say that we have all faced it at some point in our lives. Since the practice is so widespread and manifests itself in many ways, it is safe to say that we have all faced it at some point in our lives. It may therefore seem surprising, if not odd at first glance, that punishment is given an emphasis in this book. Given that punishment in general, or the penalty as it stands in the legal sphere, are such naturally adopted coercive instruments, their rightfulness seems all but transparent.
