It engages the reader with its clarity and provokes reflection through its challenging claims. The book is interesting for anyone interested in legal theory, whether they are curious to understand the connections the author draws between tort law and criminal law, or want to discover a whole new world of discussion. Torts and Retribution challenges common assumptions about tort law and proposes a novel vision that links private law and criminal law.' Gustavo A.

It expands the scope of tort theory by unchaining it from the canonically exclusive perspective of the defendant by integrating the long-overlooked perspective of victims of reprehensible wrongdoing seeking punitive awards. Its cross-disciplinary approach brings to tort theory insights from empirical research on social cognition and theoretical debates over the retributive justifications for the imposition of punishment under a conceptual framework coined Relational Retribution. This framework suits both the bilateral structure of tort law and the proactive role allocated to the victim in tort litigation. By recognizing the fundamental connection between the defendant and the plaintiff, Relational Retribution focuses both on punishment as the imposition of a deserved sanction and on the significance of the wrongdoing for the victims and their demand for denunciation and value affirmation.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction: tort law punishes\u003cbr\u003e I.
