Raff Donelson on Natural Punishment

from Ipse Dixit

In this episode, Raff Donelson, Assistant Professor of Law at Penn State Dickinson Law, discusses his draft article "Natural Punishment." Donelson begins by describing the concept of natural punishment, and why the existence of a natural punishment should diminish the need for other forms of punishment. He explains how the application of natural punishment would work in practice. And he reflects on how the concept of natural punishment should inform our understanding of criminal punishment more generally. Donelson's scholarship is available on SSRN.
