"Retributivism: Essays on Theory and Policy"

Here's the Amazon page for a volume on retribution (edited by the generous Mark White) in criminal law that can be enjoyed by the voracious consumer of criminal theory and the curious dilettante alike.  And here's the Oxford page -- contributions by important names in the theory of punishment (R.A. Duff, Jeffrie Murphy, Thom Brooks, Gerald Gaus, Dan Markel, and many other terrific people).  And I've got a chapter in here too on retribution and the choice of evils!

Release date not until April, but you may want to pre-order, as nothing says Happy Easter like a volume on retribution.  [Ok, maybe not the tightest fit, but, really, who doesn't get a warm feeling inside at the thought of retribution?]

Marc,

I am happy to see you there, but I am surprised to find nothing by John Darley and Paul Robinson there. If you haven't read any of their stuff, it's on SSRN, and very worth it (from this dilettante's point of view).
