Product Information

The Retribution by Val McDermid is the seventh in a series featuring detective Carol Jordan and profiler Tony Hill. In the interest of full disclosure, I won this in a first-reads GR giveaway. However, my review reflects my experience of the book and is not (I don't believe) influenced by this in any way). Many methods of execution are quite obviously likely to cause enormous suffering, such as execution by lethal gas, electrocution or strangulation. In the group's early months, masked henchman appeared on Raw, being presented as a group of spurned performers whose goal was to destroy the company. They made their debut on August 3, 2020, then fully masked as hoods and with a lifestyle as Thieves; the identities of most members would be revealed on September 21, with Ali revealed as the group's previously unseen leader on October 5. The team disbanded at Fastlane in March 2021 after Mace and T-Bar rebelled against Ali.

Time to continue my trek through Val McDermid’s Tony Hill and Carol Jordan series, which I started in August 2021. Almost two years later, I have finished Book #7—THE RETRIBUTION. The concept is found in most world cultures and in many ancient texts. Classical texts advocating the retributive view include Cicero's De Legibus (1st century BC), Kant's Science of Right (1790), [3] and Hegel's Philosophy of Right (1821). [4] The presence of retributive justice in ancient Jewish culture is shown by its mention in the law of Moses, [5] [6] which refers to the punishments of "life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot" as also attested in the Code of Hammurabi. Documents assert similar values in other cultures, though the judgment of whether a particular punishment is appropriately severe can vary greatly across cultures and individuals in accord with circumstance. With a new supervisor, Carol and her very successful team are being split up. One last case comes in and they would like to go out with a bang. This case isn’t completely dropped, but it does get overshadowed by Vance's escape. One critique of some concepts of just deserts is that they are primitive, emphasizing social harm rather than the character and culpability of offenders, e.g., California's 1976 statute calling for "terms proportionate to the seriousness of the offense with provision for uniformity in the sentences of offenders committing the same offense under similar circumstances." More generally, prioritizing justice for the public over crime control goals has come under criticism as attributable more to the relative ease of writing sentencing guidelines as crime tariffs (as opposed to describing the appropriate influence of situational and personal characteristics on punishment) than to any sound arguments about penological theory.

Once you put them on paper and share them with the world, your claim on them loosens. Now, I've got no problem with Ms. McDermid's propensity for torturing her characters, but I like to see some kind of payoff for them at the end. If this truly is the last chapter for Tony and Carol, after all that they have been through together, then I'm afraid, Ms. McDermid, that you've lost a fan.

This is a very strange relationship, the one that Carol and Tony have. They live together, in separate room, there is an attraction between them but neither is prepared to make it more than a social convenience. Kant regarded punishment as a matter of justice, which must be carried out by the state for the sake of the law, not for the sake of the criminal or the victim. He argues that if the guilty are not punished, justice is not done and if justice is not done, then the idea of law itself is undermined. [10] Retribution (12A)".
