48Penal Disenfranchisement and Equality of StatusJournal of Applied Philosophy 38 (3): 401-414. 2021.This article discusses the removal of voting rights from those convicted of crimes.

19Criminal Blame, Exclusion and Moral DialogueCriminal Law and Philosophy 15 (2): 223-235. 2021.In her recent book The Limits of Blame, Erin Kelly argues that we should rethink the nature of punishment because delivering blame is, contrary to the widely held view, not among the justifiable aims of a criminal justice system. In this paper, firstly, I discuss her case against criminal blame. Kelly argues that the emphasis on blame in the criminal justice system and in public discourse is one of the main causes of the stigma and exclusion faced by those convicted for a crime. This claim might…Read more
