Fundamentals of Criminal Law

Responsibility, Culpability, and Wrongdoing

Beschreibung

This book explores the philosophical underpinnings of the law's major doctrines concerning actus reus, mens rea, and defences, showing that they are not always driven by culpability but are grounded also in principles of moral responsibility, ascriptive responsibility, and wrongdoing.
