- Title
Social Injustice, Disadvantaged Offenders, and the State's Authority to Punish*.
- Authors

- Abstract
Social Injustice and the State's Authority to Punish The crux of the authority thesis is that a state that fails to prevent serious social injustice loses its authority to punish those individuals who are affected by it. I will assume that the authority thesis does not just trivially assert that a state without authority lacks penal authority. A state that has lost both its penal authority and its authority to regulate its socio-economic institutions and allows an international body to do its work in these domains resembles the state without any authority that would render the authority thesis trivial.
