     in “the immorality of punishment”, michael zimmerman attempts to show that punishment is morally unjustified and therefore wrong. in this response, i focus on two main questions. first, i examine whether zimmerman’s empirical claims—concerning our inability to identify wrongdoers who satisfy conditions on blameworthiness and who might be reformed through punishment, and the comparative efficacy of punitive and non-punitive responses to crime—stand up to scrutiny. second, i argue that his crucial argument from luck depends on claims about counterfactuals that ought to be rejected. i conclude that though his arguments are powerful, they fall short of his ambitious aim of demonstrating that punishment is always seriously wrong.
