`a handsome volume, with an unusually critical prologue (to which readers in search of a longer review might turn) ... This is a collection to use'
Cambridge Law Journal
`'Virtually every essay in this book...is of remarkably high quality: lucid, carefully argued, and grounded in a wide reading of the relevant literature. Moreover, the three co-editors have contributed a useful introduction that summarizes, connects together and critically evaluates the principal papers. I cannot imagine anyone with a serious interest in the philosophical aspects of the criminal law who would not find at least a significant part of this
collection to be essential reading.''
