Reviews
‘Shuster does a yeoman’s work in critically evaluating the political philosophies of Plato, Hobbes, Montesquieu, and Foucault in an attempt to address the problems plaguing the modern criminal justice system in the US.’ - S.E. Blankenship (Choice Magazine vol 54:02:2016) ‘Shuster has forced all those interested in punishment to take political philosophy seriously. He has laid the ground for further investigation into punishments’ meaning and purpose in the civic and moral education of citizens.’ - Cary Federman (Review of Politics winter 2017) ‘This philosophical mosaic is a great book for those looking for a modern spin on some of the most pivotal and foundational pieces that have shaped the criminal justice system and law today.’ - Megan Traver (Criminal Law and Criminal Justice Books July 2017)
