About The Will to Punish

In The Will to Punish, Didier Fassin interrogates the philosophical presuppositions of modern punishment. Through his own fieldwork, history and anthropology, Fassin breaks the conceptual links between crime and punishment, showing that states punish without crime, and that the extent of punishment's focus on marginalized communities means that it lies beyond any rational justification.
