Description

Written by leading philosophers and lawyers from the United States and the United Kingdom, this collection of original essays offers new insights into the doctrines that make up the general part of the criminal law. It sheds theoretical light on the diversity and unity of the general part and advances our understanding of such key issues as criminalisation, omissions, voluntary actions, knowledge, belief, reckelssness, duress, self-defence, entrapment and officially-induced mistake of law. The book will be of interest both to established scholars working in the field of criminal law theory and to those coming to the subject for the first time.

Media Reviews

The essays are philosophically sophisticated and tightly argued. * Legal Studies *
The combined efforts of these authors address some of the fundamental 'general part' debates that underlie the specific offences that make up the criminal law ... it does successfully take the reader beyond definitional questions of the specific type of offence to ask philosophical questions of the moral and social underpinnings of our conception of criminality, that have application in criminal practice. * Modern Law Review *
