Rejoinder to Dominiak on Crime, Punishment, and Libertarianism

My learned colleague and I tangle with each other on the libertarian analysis of crime, punishment, property rights, and unjust enrichment. I maintain an objective four-part theory of punishment: two teeth for a tooth (first one tooth and then a second tooth), third, costs of capture, and then, finally, fourth, payment for scaring the victim. But no more. Once the miscreant has undergone his full, very draconian punishment, no more should be taken from him. If he wins a lottery for $1 million after paying for the ticket with a stolen $5, he may keep this money, pro vided he has fully paid his punishment debt. Dominiak maintains, in contrast, that the law-breaker may not benefit from his crime, and this would appear to be a para digm case of just that.
