`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

Criminal law has been described as a species of political and moral philosophy; whether that can be said to be true is not at all certain, but criminal law can be the subject of philosophical study. The aim of this book is to explore some of the philosophical foundations of the criminal law. The distinguished English and North American contributors to this volume have all produced original and sparkling essays which will command attention.
