66. Sympathetic treatment of some forms of retributivism while locating them in a framework of more communitarian values.

72. Hart, H. L. A. "Prolegomenon to the Principles of Punishment," Punishment and Responsibility-Essays in the Philosophy of Law. 1-27. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1968. Distinguishes between a distributive question about punishment and a question about punishment's general justifying aim.

In my view, this joins Herbert Morris' "Persons and Punishment" as one of the two most powerful philosophical defenses of retributivism.
75. Morris, Herbert. "Persons and Punishment," Monis, 52, 4 (1968): 475-501. A powerful defense of robust retributivism that almost singlehandedly rendered such retributivism philosophically respectable again.
