The means of enforcement -- The goals of enforcement -- Measuring enforceability in the previolation state of affairs -- Measuring enforceability in the postviolation state of affairs -- The relationship between previolation expectations and postviolation practice -- Limitations on the means of enforcement -- Special problems with legal remedies -- The value of nominal rights.

When it was originally published in 2005, this book was the first comprehensive study of the meaning and measure of enforceability. While we have long debated what restraints should govern the conduct of our social life, we have paid relatively little attention to the question of what it means to make a restraint enforceable. Focusing on the enforceability of legal rights but also addressing the enforceability of moral rights and social conventions, Mark Reiff explains how we use punishment and compensation to make restraints operative in the world. After describing the various means by which restraints may be enforced, Reiff explains how the sufficiency of enforcement can be measured, and he presents a unified theory of deterrence, retribution, and compensation that shows how these aspects of enforceability are interconnected. Reiff then applies his theory of enforceability to illuminate a variety of real-world problem situations.
