| Sumario: | Dostoevsky's views on punishment are usually examined through the prism of his Christian commitments.

In this book, the author incorporates sources from philosophy, criminology, psychology, and history to argue that Dostoevsky's thinking about punishment was shaped not only by his Christian ethics but also by the debates on penal theory and practice unfolding during his lifetime. |
