The author argues that the U.S. Supreme Court's move away from a punishment-related deterrence rationale is in line with her skepticism about the capacity of deterrent aims to explain the practices of American courts regarding punitive damages. It states that the psychology of punishment provides a plausible alternative to the logic of deterrence. Liability and an American nonsurvivability tort law rule are mentioned in relation to tortfeasor-defendants who die before damages can be imposed.
