Human rights as sources of penality - LSE Theses Online
etheses.lse.ac.uk
My PhD thesis, Human Rights as Sources of Penality, is now available online! It explores how human rights foster and justify penality. I'm revising it for a book with OUP, but the thesis offers a preview. Feedback welcome! etheses.lse.ac.uk/4474/ @uoy-yorklawschool.bsky.social @cahr-york.bsky.social
