Who is Blameworthy, and Who can Blame Whom? A Dialogue about the Legitimacy of Punishment in the Face of Social Exclusion
The article presents two views about the legitimacy of punishment in contexts of social exclusion. In the first part, one of the authors defends the idea that states that do not comply with previous legal obligations cannot blame those who commit crimes related to this non-compliance. They cannot do it because they do not have the sufficient moral standing to blame according to two objections: complicity and hypocrisy. In the second part, the second author criticizes this solution and argues that because a central feature of the political relationship is its lack of reciprocity, the objections of hypocrisy and complicity are inapplicable to legal punishment.
