DESCRIPTION:The Centre for Penal Theory and Penal Ethics is a research cen
 tre within the Institute\, working to highlight ethical issues within crim
 inology. Its recently-published edited book\, Penal Censure\, takes up iss
 ues in punishment theory that were first opened up in a 1976 book (Doing J
 ustice) by the founder of the Centre\, Professor Andreas von Hirsch\, and 
 in von Hirsch’s subsequent grounding of his proposed model of desert-bas
 ed sentencing in the notion of penal censure. What\, if any\, kind of cens
 ure-based justification of punishment would fully satisfy the penal theori
 st? And\, just as importantly\, what are the dangers and costs of a concep
 tualisation of state punishment as deserved censure in a world without agr
 eement on what our most fundamental values are?\n\nPlease join Matt Matrav
 ers\, Professor of Law and Philosophy at the University of York\, and Chri
 stopher Bennett\, Professor of Philosophy at the University of Sheffield\,

 ical exploration of some of these questions.  They will participate in a p
 anel discussion chaired by Dr Antje du Bois-Pedain\, Deputy Director of th
 e Centre for Penal Theory and Penal Ethics\, and one of the book’s edito
 rs.\n\nThe volume will be launched on this occasion\, and copies will be a
