Abstract
In the course of the last two chapters we have seen how a denunciatory account of punishment can help to make sense of some kinds of non-paradigmatic instance of punishment. However, the kinds of case we have looked at have had something in common with paradigmatic instances of punishment. For they have been, in each case, examples of the punishment of individuals. In the next two chapters, I wish to look at instances of punishment which differ from the paradigmatic case in another respect: the punishment of collective agents. In this chapter I shall focus on what one might call the ‘domestic’ case: the punishment of corporations under domestic law; in the next chapter I shall focus on something which one might take to be considerably more problematic: the punishability of states under international law.
