Print symposium in the New Criminal Law Review on Alan Brudner’s book, Punishment and Freedom. Comments by Shai Lavi, Alan Norrie, Alice Ristroph, Mariana Valverde, reply by Alan Brudner. Get the whole issue via Jstor here.

Best line (Valverde): “This book, despite its deceptively staid, seemingly straightforward style, turned out to have numerous tangents, offshoots, and subplots, many of which involve the most contentious issues in legal and social theory today.”

Check back for our podcast interview with Brudner, coming soon.
