According to Christopher New, prepunishment is punishment for an offence before
the offence is committed. I will first analyze New’s argument, along with the epistemic
conditions for practicing prepunishment. I will then deal with an important conceptual
objection, according to which prepunishment is not a genuine kind of ‘punishment’. After
that, I will consider retributivism and present conclusive reasons for the claim that it cannot
justify prepunishment without leading to paradoxical results. I shall then seek to establish that
from the utilitarian point of view it is possible to provide a plausible justification of this
practice. Finally, I shall attempt to defend the claim that the fact that utilitarianism can justify
prepunishment in a satisfactory way is clearly a favourable characteristic of this ethical
position.
