    Scanlon and contractualism (edited book)
    Frank Cass. 2003.

    Legitimate Expectations in Theory, Practice, and Punishment
    Moral Philosophy and Politics 4 (2): 307-323. 2017.
    This paper is concerned with how we ought to think about legitimate expectations in the non-ideal, ‘real’ world. In one (dominant) strand of contemporary theories of justice, justice requires not that each gets what she deserves, but that each gets that to which she is entitled in accordance with what Rawls calls ‘the public rules that specify the scheme of cooperation’. However, that is true only if those public rules are part of a fully just scheme and it is plausibly the case that no such sch…Read more

    Critical Review of International Social and Political Philosophy 7 (2). 2004.

Crime has become part of everyday life as, for many citizens, has imprisonment. Managing Modernity brings together criminologists, social theorists, and philosophers to consider what explains these changes and what they tell us about ourselves and the way in which we live. The authors consider the pervasive, the obvious, and the covert ways in …Read more

    Justice and punishment: the rationale of coercion
    Oxford University Press. 2000.
    This book aims to answer the question of why, and by what right, some people punish others. With a groundbreaking new theory, Matravers argues that the justification of punishment must be embedded in a larger political and moral theory. He also uses the problem of punishment to undermine contemporary accounts of justice.
