According to some theorists, crime does not only cause a person to have less freedom; it constitutes, in and of itself, a breach of the freedom of others. Punishment does not only cause people to have more freedom, for instance by preventing crimes; it constitutes, in and of itself, respect for mutual freedom. If the latter claims are true, crime and punishment must have certain meanings that make them denials/affirmations of freedom irrespective of their consequences. My aim is to show that such an immanent connection between crime/punishment and freedom exists. I do so by explicating the “natural meaning” of crime and punishment. This way of addressing the topic is inspired by Jean Hampton’s use of H. P. Grice’s concept of natural meaning. 2023-09-25T02:57:06Z 2023-09-25T02:57:06Z 2021 Book https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11572-021-09624-2 https://dlib.phenikaa-uni.edu.vn/handle/PNK/9168 en application/pdf Springer
