Is there any justification for imposing suffering, in the form of punishment, on those who break the law? Political and legal philosophers have long debated these vexing questions, but the debates typically have taken up each question in isolation. 'Playing Fair', however, treats the two questions as intertwined and provides affirmative answers to both-answers grounded, in both cases, in the principle of fair play.
