Get
my book Offences
and Defences: Selected Essays in the Philosophy
of Criminal Law (Oxford: OUP 2007)
|

|
'Criminal theory has taken a giant
step forward with the publication of Offences
and Defences. This magnificent collection demonstrates
what can happen when an outstanding philosopher
turns his attention to the criminal law. For better
and for worse, criminal theory has been dominated
by legal theorists who are sympathetic to philosophical
methodologies but lack
|
|
Gardner’s philosophical sophistication
and expertise. A finer collection of essays in criminal
law has not appeared since H.L.A. Hart’s Punishment
and Responsibility.' - Douglas Husak in The Oxford
Journal of Legal Studies 29 (2009), 169 at 187.

So now
get the second edition of H.L.A.
Hart's Punishment
and Responsibility: Essays in the Philosophy
of Law (Oxford: OUP 2008), to which I have
contributed a critical introduction
|
|

|
'Punishment and Responsibility is still regarded as one of the cornerstones
of both penal philosophy and the burgeoning field of criminal law theory in
Britain, Australia, Israel and North America. Its idea of criminal
responsibility ... is the inspiration for or counterpoint to almost all serious
scholarship in English in the field published over the last 35 years.' -
Nicola Lacey, A Life of H.L.A. Hart (Oxford: OUP 2004)
