Which of the following is not a requirement on the definition of “legal punishment”?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Hart’s standard definition requires legal punishment to be imposed on an actual or supposed offender for an offence. The statement denying the need for such an offender contradicts that requirement. Unpleasant consequences, a breach of legal rules, and intentional administration by persons other than the offender are the other stated elements.
